Question
I recently bought a car from a friend and it would start run and die and the security light would blink then go out and u could do that again and again. I looked underneath the steering column and saw that a yellow wire was cut so i stripped the two ends touched them together and started the car and it ran. I shut it off and started it again and the car ran once again while the car was running the wires came undone and the security light came on and stayed on i shut the car off and it would not start again. after letting it sit overnight it started again but the security light was still on. It also seemed to be idling really high. I took it to a local mechanic and he told me that he was getting bad computer readings and the computer would need to be replaced and it would be around $100. He also said he needed to find the problem in the electrical system before he could replace the computer. I have not got my car back for 3 weeks now and counting. What is wrong with it?

Answer
Ok, the mechanic is poking around trying all the things
it could be, and has not researched it.

My take on it is that this is GM'S PASSLOCK
and you are at the wrong place to have the work
done.

Ok then, from your desription and the
make/model/year of the car you have there,
it appears you've reset the ORIGINAL PASSLOCK.

The car's security immobilizer
reader at the key switch
does not recognise the coded
chip in the ignition key any longer.

You can tow it to any GM vehicle dealer
to have the service department re code it.

There is a permanent solution though.
Adding the PLJX Self learning Bypass module (59.95)
will bypass the PASSLOCK system in your vehicle
for good. See this at www.PASSLOCK1.com

I strongly suggest that a car alarm/remote starter
installation technician put in the PLJX
module to get your car up and going again
but your call.

Good luck.
Let me know what you discover.
