I just had this same problem with a '96 . do you have a vats key in your '94? you need to bypass the VATS system. read some of the blogs on this site and it will tell you how to do it. I fixed mine with a $2 resistor from radio shack.

SOURCE: car wont start

as long as security theft system is on, car wont start.

don't you have the remote key to disable the theft system?

you can bypass security but you have to have wiring experience and splicing before you can proceed.

More likely it is the spark plugs and the engine is mis-firing... take them out and check them

Car wont crank lights and radio all work says reduced engine power and engine disabled what is it help

This may be related to the antitheft system The system is known for turning off the starter and/or injectors when it fails. Is there a light on the dash that says SECURITY? This is a common problem worth looking into. http://www.diy-gm-security.com/

Car every now and then wont start ,turn the key and nothing plenty of power there ,then 5 -20 mins starts

Hey Bill , Do you have any lights lit on the dash when it won't start , SECURITY ? What make ,model an year vehicle ? With out vehicle info it's hard to tell you anything ! I need to look at a wiring diagram to see what is involved all , starter relay , anti-theft system etc.. Newer vehicles the ignition switch is a input to the BCM - body control module . The BCM energizes relays that power up the vehicle ,send messages on the serial data bus to the PCM to enable the starter relay !

The security light comes on but it wont even turn over

When the light is on, the security feature of immobilizing car-wont allow starting-is active. Pretty difficult and time-consuming to permanently disable the security system, but some have figured it out and published their research over the internet. If yours gets worse, if the light stays on more frequently, you may want it permanently removed. I think it was a ruse by GM and car makers to add cost, and cause more frequent repair visits, but that just me.
Google "disable vehicle security system" or some such, to see results.

My 2007 silverado was fine when i parked it last nite..now it wont start..plenty of battery and lights..but no ignition..and the steering wheel is not locked when in park..it will not start in park, or...

The steering wheel will not "lock" until you turn it about 45 degrees from center...this is normal. If your security light is flashing, there is a problem with your security system that is keeping you from starting the engine. Try this: Set the parking brake. Turn the ignition to the "RUN" position and wait about 10 minutes for the security light to stop flashing. When the light stops flashing, crank the engine without turning the key to the off position. If it starts, take the vehicle to get the security system checked. If it doesn't start, tow it. You probably need a new PassKey sensor.

1260 code wont start

P1260 - This, basically is indicating that a theft has occurred, and the engine has been disabled.If the engine stalled, during travel, and the code was pulled after the stall, this will indicate the following:

1.A loss of power, or ground wire to the PCM
2.A Faulty PCM power relay
3.A Faulty EEC power diode
4.A Faulty VERF signal.

Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) communicates PCM through instrument cluster to enable or disable vehicle's engine. Within one second after engine start, PCM must receive an enable signal from instrument cluster or engine will be disabled. Along with enable signals, instrument cluster and PCM share messages that confirm security codes shared during initial installation. This shared security data makes instrument cluster and PCM a matched pair, so neither will operate in another vehicle. When system is functioning properly and ignition switch is turned to RUN or START position, THEFT indicator light will turn on for 3 seconds, then turn off. Vehicle will be enabled to start and run. If a problem exists in PATS, THEFT indicator light will stay on or flash continuously.


NOTE_ The best action is to clear the code, by using a diagnostic CPU. Plug the CPU into your in car port, under the dash. Follow the instruction on the CPU display to clear the code. if the engine dose not start after the code is cleared, this will indicate that there are some issues with the PCM, or PATS

Sometimes car wont start

Is your security light on. If your light is on then you have a security problem that means the fuel to your engine is getting cut off. It is a security feature built for the car so no one can steal it all you have to do is tun the key to the on position and wait 10 minutes the security light will be blinking during this time when the light goes off then turn the key to the off position and then try starting the car. This has happened to me you can see it in your car manuel
