Auto Theft Prevention/1999 Monte Carlo won't start

Question
Into a situation where I'm working on a 1999 Monte Carlo that won't start by key.  The security light is flashing, took the ignition key to dealer told me it was fine.  I can turn the key on and jump across the solenoid and it will start and run fine.  when trying to start with key, relay's kick on in the fuse panel, but no power to the starter.  Could this still be the security system?

Answer
That is the Classic complaint here. :>(

Not too hard to do if you've ever done Car stereo
or, Car alarm work.

If not, (don't be proud! A lot of people won't do this work),
Then locate someone who does car alarms and remote start
work as this is right up they're alley!)

Your Vehicle Has The VATS-PASSLOCK 1
fuel rail Immobilizer system.

You are correct that the IB-IM-PLJX Bypass kit is going to be
needed to get around this safely.

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.
That's if you can locate a GM service dept.
in the next couple of years! :>(

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 about down the line.

Any good technician can install this item in less then an 2 hours.
Take it to a reputable stereo,car alarm/remote starter installer,
or we can guide you through it here once purchased.

In stock and ready to ship when you are.

To proceed, click or copy, cut n paste
the link below that best fits your situation:

If the vehicle's engine tries to crank, but does NOT engage/
turn over. You will need both the bypass kit, and
the relay application to get it started and bypassed
for good. This option is 79.95

THIS IS OPTIONAL (BUT SUGGESTED BUY OUR TECHNICAL STAFF!!!!)

(This is for the above situation!)
If your vehicle's battery needs to be removed for
service at any time, you will need to reprogram
your bypass kit!

To avoid this eventuality, we suggest you install the
optional bypass backup battery for 14.95
so that the PASSLOCK BYPASS module keeps powered,
and programmed during the servicing of the vehicle.
(For up to 4 days!)
If this interests you, the following link includes the
cost of the Backup Battery Kit:

HOWEVER...

If your vehicle's engine can start, even after waiting 10 minutes
before it will crank over on it's own, you need the PLJX bypass kit
by itself. 69.95.

Click or copy cut n paste
The Following Link To Purchase:

https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=installsupport%40aol.com&item_name=1-PLJX+BYPASS+MODULE&item_number=1-PLJX+BYPASS+MODULE&amount=69.95&no_note=1¤cy_code=USD

your bypass project, and the product will ship within
