SOURCE: wont start security light stays on

My girlfriend had the same problem, so we took it to the local dealer in Costa Mesa, CA and were told she needed a new engine to the tune of 5K. We decided to take it to our local mechanic and he discovered that the “ignition control box”, which apparently has the antitheft controls too and shuts the flow of gas to the engine because it thinks its being stolen when it malfunctions, was causing the starting problem. Once, the box was replaced it worked fine. Because the IBC controls antitheft, it will need to be “reprogrammed” be someone that has access to the proper equipment or the dealer. I think the whole thing was about $800 - $900. Sure beats $5,000

Hope this helps,
B

SOURCE: car wont start has power has fuel and starter

The security system is activated. It kills the injector pulse ( signal) and on some modles the starter. You will need to try to relearn the system. First try to start the car, leave the key in the run position for 10 minutes. Cycle the key off, then cycle it to the run position again for 10 more minutes. Cycle it off again, then back to run for another 10 min. after the last cycle turn it off then try to start the car. It is a 30 minute relearn. If this does not work you will need a repair shop to replace the passlock sensor. Good Luck

Testimonial: "it was in the ignition and the security activated i had to replace the whole igintion key and all "

SOURCE: 1994 cutlass supreme security light stays on and does not start

their is two wires they are white and go in to a orange sleve that sould be on the ignition switch, that is part of the security system in the car. It runs down inside the colunm and plugs in uder the dash. This is most likley your problem, the wires might have a short.

SOURCE: starter wont crank on a 2000 oldsmobile intrigue

Check your manual if you have it. I believe you need to have the key in the ignition in the ON position for about 10 minutes to reset the security system.

Are you certain the security has not immobilized the car? If it isn't a security issue, there is probably a problem in the start circuit.
If you check for power on the small starter solenoid wire, with the key held in crank, and no power is on that wire-the start circuit from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid has a problem. If the wire does have power with key in cranking position, probably a bad connection from battery to starter, since you have a new starter.
To be certain the engine is not locked up, put a socket and wrench on the crankshaft pulley center bolt and turn the engine over by hand a revolution or so.

I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero 3.4L that wont start. I have done fuel pressure test 50-55 psi and plugs have good spark. However when done light test on injectors there is no response so there is no pulse....

Is the security light staying on ?
Usually the engine will not crank and you have no power to the fuel pump if the security system is disabling the car.
No injector pulse but spark would point to the computer since both use input from the crank and cam sensors.

A common problem on GM cars and trucks, especially grand ams (unfortunately) is the security system. They can actually close off fuel to injectors and turn off starters. I wonder if this might be your problem. Is there a light on your dash that says security when you put your key forward to start? If that light stays on, its the security system. Heres a link to a site with tons of info on it, and some solutions. Hope this helps. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

Security warning is on and car wont start now

The security light being on is why your vehicle will not start.You need to get the codes to find out what is causing the problem.What you can do is when you try to start it and let go of the key but leave it to the run position the security light will come on and stay on for ten minutes.When it goes off turn the key off and then try to start it.The theft module relearns the key and it should start.Then you can take it to a repair shop and get it fixed.You can call ahead and make sure there is a shop that can diagnose and repair this problem.Hope this helps.Good luck.

The check engine light is interesting considering everything else is out. I would go to the fuse panels and trace power to the ignition switch. Other than the check engine light, this seems to be most likely.

2001 lumina turns on-- but doesn't turn over

When that happens again, try moving shifter harder into park, or in to neutral and also try stepping harder on brake pedal & see if it makes any difference.
