Ford Focus TDCI 2005 - Intermittent Starting problem - focuskev

With regards to an earlier post on 4/7/10 about a starting problem on this vehicle - has anyone ever encountered an intermittent start when the ignition key is in the lock attached to a big bunch of keys that could possibly be interfereing with a start in either the downward pull by the weight of the keys or by interference to the remote key itself?
