Auto right? there is a neutral/park relay on automatic transmission equipped cars. if it is broken or loose it wont let you to run engine (like you did not place the shifter to N or P position)

also for some US made cars you need to press brake pedal to start car, there is a switch for that you need to find its location on your car.

least possible option. your immobilizer is problematic. it can unlock doors but wont allow it to run engine.

    If it was the neutral/park relay, or the switch on the brake pedal, I dont think the motor would turn over. This one turns over just wont start

    if so, you need to be sure that pump pressure is ok and crank position sensor is not broken.

    i experienced both problem separately on m y cars before.

Theft security problem

Usually it means the computer is not accepting the chip in your key.
It can be the key, the sensor in the lock cylinder, or something in the security module or computer.
You might try another key or lock and unlock the driver's door with the key.

98 Deville had a dead batt. Replaced, turns over but wont start

Sounds like fuel issue, remove the black plastic cadillac cover on the top of the engine, then find the fuel rail on top, and remove the black tire cap looking thing on the end of the fuel rail. Now you will have to get a fuel pressure guage ($45), and screw it on right there. Or you can also just poke that little valve with a ink pen to see if any fuel squirts out, it should come out with alot of force, it is like a valve on a bicycle, it only lets fuel out when you push on the valve ***. As for the battery being dead perhaps you left your parking lights on? My 97 deville, had a cold start problem, that it took 5 minutes of cranking off and on, to get it cold started, but after it was running it would start throughout the day just fine. I ended up replacing the fuel pump in the tank, and the fuel filter on the rail.

98 Ford F150 w/4.6l Wont start. Hear fuel pump click. Have pressure on fuel rail. Pulled #1 plug from head and plugged back into wire. Grounded plug and cranked. No spark. Changed wires 4 and 7 four days...

have diagnostic codes checked to see if you have a cam or crank sensor fault. make sure fuel pressure is at the required pressure, just testing to see if you have fuel at the valve is not enough. replace all spark plug wires. if you replaced two then all are just as old and even when they "look good" does not qualify as "they are good". Replace coil pack. start up drive away happy

I have a 98 Pontiac Montana transport 3.4L V6 SFI It has been running good since I bought it 4 years ago. Then one day the fuel gauge stopped working, so since then I would use the mileage to calculate...

Hello: When you turn the key on the fuel pump should run for 2 seconds if it isn't the check the f/p fuse, relay and it could be the pump itself. You might take a hammer and beat on the bottom of the fuel tank (in the center) while someone is holding the key in start (turning engine over) if it starts you have a fuel pump problem. (pump in tank)

1998 cad alarm no start

Your GM product has a safety alarm, it shuts down the radio , or locks it.
I send ours to a GM dealer to get it unlocked. They don't give those codes out.
