Question
My mon has a 1996 pontiac grand am it will run for a couple of weeks and then it will die no telling where it will be. when you try to start it it wiil start for maybe 5 seconds and die the anti theft light blinks. I can leave the key on and let the battery go dead jump start it and it will run for a couple more weeks. Is there any way to disamble the anti theft system ?

Answer
No.
I feel your pain. Really I do!
I get this inquiry at least 10 times a day,
and of course I am ONLY THE MESSENGER here
so please blame the engineers at GM.

It is a flawed and irritating system yes.
The way around it is also posted in several places
on my sites as well. A permanant bypass is suggested.
And yes, as long as you can get the car started eventually,
you can then program the module, and bypass the passlock,
but not before.

The IB-IM-PLJX Bypass kit is going to be
needed to get around this safely. (www.PASSLOCK2.com)
It matches the resistance level in the key switch
and allows for the fuel rail to engage with any key
you choose to use. See details on the site.

I wish there was an easy way to magically get it to
work without it, but this is what we have available
short of paying GM a bunch of cash to reset
a system that will likely need it again, and again.

I'd bypass it and go from there with an after market
alarm to pick up the slack. Then no GM passlock issues to
worry bout down the line.

I hope this helped some.

Copy, cut n paste the link below if ready to
get this done now:
