It sounds like an intake manifold vac leak. After the engine warms up use a can of spray carb cleaner at all edges of the intake. Use short bursts of the cleaner and see if the RPM changes. If it does you have a vac leak. That means replacing manifold gaskets.

This may be related to the antitheft system. The system is known for turning off the starter and/or injectors when it fails. Normally when the injectors are turned off, the car will run for a second or two, and then stall. When it's the security locked out starter, you won't even hear a click when you turn the key. Is there a light on the dash that says SECURITY or a picture of a car with a lock through it? This is a common problem worth looking into. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

Check engine light on ? Did you have it hooked up to diagnostic tool ? Could be a few different thing's , engine sensors , fuel system problem , plugged exhaust etc... If unfamiliar with this your best bet would be to take it to a qualified repair shop .

If you have tested for voltage at the pump wiring and find none, remember the ECU may not supply pump current if it finds signals missing from critical sensors. There is also an inertia switch in the circuit I think.

Replace the relay or resistor first. Relays can stick closed, will cause a fast blower. Resistors can be fast to slower speeds. After that is burnt wires somewhere. Personally , I look at the wires first, Check them for ground shorts and impedance. Have an Ohm/volt meter?

Check starter relay for proper power and operation. Underneath drivers dash area

Make sure your pats key is clean. Sometimes the chip gets dirty. Also try disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes. This will reset the system...

Hi Jackie , It doesn't have to have a code stored in the ECM memory for a problem too exist . need some more info from your if you would like some ideas as to the problem ! What engine does yours have ? 5.7L ? What type fuel system does it have - TBI - throttle body fuel injection ? I had vehicles at the Chevy dealer I worked at with this type fuel injection , where the engine raced really fast . Vacuum leaks , bad plug wires can cause this problem . The engine computer is compensating for more air entering the engine ! After fixing the problem it still was racing , you have to drive the vehicle an get the speed up over 35 MPH for the ECM to reset !

The orifice tube is located in the evaporator inlet pipe at the liquid line connection. The evaporator is located in the right rear side of the engine compartment. .

Is it an aftermarket radio??? Normally they have a 5A fuse on the back of the unit itself, or in line of the radio's power wire.

As someone who made this mistake, are all the wires reconnected under the fuel door? Check fuel pump fuse

Clean the ground terminal and post them try

I suggest using the original fuel injectors that came with the vehicle. Buy them from the dealership and 97% of the time your problem will be gone. Always test drive vehicle to confirm repair. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/richard_9a19ee73dfa4686a

Resistor in key may be bad or your VATS system could be the problem. If key resistor is bad, computer can't recognize the key. Vats is the worst thing ever installed in a Vette

You may have either or combination of two problems. 1- low refrigerant - may have a leak. 2- no vacuum going into a/c heater control - and the air mixer flap is bringing in hot air from heater core as well. The vacuum hoses on most GM products are hard plastic, and tend to get very brittle with hot engine compartment.
