My Pontiac G5 2007 SE has factory remote start. The option for remote start is turned to on in the DCIM menu. And yes I've tried turning the key to the run position and back to off twice to reset the timer lockout on the remote start. When I try and use the remote start. The engine will turn over and fire up... For about two seconds. Then it automatically kills the engine. Any ideas. Please help!!!

SOURCE: 1997 pontiac sunfire key wont turn in ignition

You will have to have the ignition cylinder replaced in the car. The only thing that keeps that ignition from turning is a little tang on the sdie of it. The only way that tang moves is by the tumblers inside the cylinder moving it. They will have a hard time replacing it too as they can't remove the cylinder from the bore until it is in the "run" position. Obviously there are ways to get them out but it usually involves using half the tools of a good tech's toolbox. if it is towed the towtruck driver will have to use dolly wheels or remove the shifter cable at the transmission to get it to move as it will be stuck in park- unless is a standard shift.
I am sorry for the bad news. Get a second opinion from somebody that can put their hands on it , but it sounds like you have a tried all or most of the tricks.
Good luck...........Scott

Why would my 2008 Pontiac Gran Prix start with my factory remote then not start when I went out with the key?

Lock the doors then unlock the driver door with the key. My 03 mustang has done that several times too

How do I reset my remote start on my 2010 Pontiac g6

if you have the factory remote start option then to use the remote start all you have to do is press the lock button on the fob then press the and hold for 3 seconds the start button (it is the button that is just above the lock and unlock buttons at the very top)
Or If you press the menu key about 3-5 times I believe you should see REMOTE START and it will say either ON or OFF if it says off press the ENTER key and it should switch to on then try the remote start again and make sure that your CHECK ENGINE light isn't on, if it is on the REMOTE START wont work as a safety.

I have a Pontiac Grand am se 2.3 liter that won't start everything powers on but hen I turn the key to start it nothing happens not even a clicking to stay an get it t I start??

Turn on headlamps and try to start. Do lights dim? Yes= bad battery connections, low charge on battery, bad solenoid, bad starter. Not dimming? bad solenoid, bad starter switch, bad neutral safety switch, bad starter relay, bad ignition switch. Use voltmeter to see if ignition switch works, and so on.

Pontiac grand am se 2002 won't turn over and

my pontiac did the same thing and all i had to do was replace the 40amp fuse. you can have someone turning the key while you hit the starter from underneath, if it starts then you need a new starter, if it dont then no, its something else. mine did the exact same thing and it was the 40amp fuse under the hod.
