Expert: INSTALLSUPPORT - 8/6/2008

Question
My 97 sufire gt starts and then shuts off. Theft system light flashing. Installed new ecm, new cluster in dash, new ignition, new lock cylinder. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no way to bypass this feature?

Answer
I feel your pain. Really I do!
I get this inquiry at least 5 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.

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.
The trick here now is to have the engine start and
run long enough to program the module. If the engine
can't start, then a bypass module will not function.

I know it's a catch 22 situation, but I am just
reporting the news  here, don't shoot the messenger. :>(

But if you can manage to get it started for
a little bit, then you're all set.

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. If not, GM will need to reprogram
the PASSLOCK system, then you can bypass it for good.
Right now it's "Cart before the horse." I am afarid.

I hope this helped some.

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