Hi: Sounds to me like you tried to start the vehicle with something disconnected in the security system. If this is the case the solution is simple. Put key in ignition and turn to the on position, leave on for EXACTLY 30 minutes... then take key out, wait 5 minutes then start vehicle. Hope this helps... please rate suggestion... ty

I experienced this problem, intermittant failure to start. This procedure must be done with the truck RUNNING.

Remove the cover off of your ignition switch. On the top there is a small wire connector that, once the truck is running, should be disconnected. This will turn on the 'SECURITY' light. All will be better, except the security light will be on at all times, much cheaper than replacing the ignition switch, however.

There are several methods of bypassing the security system. Find one that works for you. In the meantime when this happens. leave the key in the on position until the security light goes out. It will blink on and off for about 10 or 15 min then stay on solid for a few seconds then go out. turn the key off and count to 5 and start the engine. This may have to be done 3 times to work depending on how spent your system is...

My 98 jimmy is not starting up . Engine turns but will not start

Pretty sure I know what is causing this. common issue in GM's. Your security system failed .this has happened to me before I found a module that can bypass it and your car will run again and its very inexpensive and you can do it yourself. check it out see if you think its it. your car make and model are on the list for this issue.

How can i bypass the o2 sensor 0n a 1997 gmc jimmy

You cannot do that because the sensor has a varied voltage output and the ECM will see it as something wrong.

Where do i find tdm on 2001 gmc jimmy?

The 200 Jimmy key is not a chipped key, but instead a transponder key. This key works with the security system by transmitting a signal that is read by the Lock Cylinder in the ignition. Without this signal the truck will refuse to crank over, or instead start for 5 seconds or less and then shut down. If your security light is on, the antitheft system is 100% the problem. You can either find which parts is failing and replace it correctly, (Key-Ignition/lock cylinder-or TDM) or bypass it.

My 1996 GMC Jimmy won't start. I bypassed the solenoid and it started. What, besides the solenoid, would you suggest checking?

If it started by not using the solenoid, then replacing that unit should be the answer, if nothing else is preventing it from starting, why look for more problems before they ensue??
