Question
1999 silverado starts fine but shuts off after 2 seconds, fuel pressure stays up during and after it shuts down, 57 psi.  There are no codes coming up and the security light is not flashing or on. It has power at the injectors but the negitive pulse quits and shuts down the motor, What could cause this?

Answer
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.

The PASSLOCK 2 system in your truck has been activated.
Try putting in the ignition key, turn on to
just before cranking, leave that way for 10 mins.,
then turn off the key. This MIGHT reset the
system.

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 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:
