bdyman · 08-09-2009, 09:38 AM

ok sold

bdyman · 08-10-2009, 04:27 PM

well i got the new pcm and yes it was re programed, no passlock problem, stupid car wont freakin` run!!! now im really stumped but i have a gm tech coming to the house in the morning, so i guess i will find out then

CactusWill · 08-10-2009, 06:45 PM

The gas is probably bad by now, at the very least

bdyman · 08-10-2009, 07:11 PM

right but it would still run, my alero had bad gas from sitting for 3yrs but it fired right up and ran, and i ran the car until it died out put new gas in,
but something else is wrong now, it spins freely, i have fuel, i have spark
no sercurity light, everything works, im stumped i hope this tech can figure it out

cherrington17 · 08-11-2009, 12:36 AM

so it turns over, but doesn't start?

getting air, getting proper fuel/air mix?

dumb thing to suggest, but check wires/connections/fuses...

bdyman · 08-11-2009, 07:58 AM

yes it spins over and thats it, we did checked and checked all fuses all relays, fuel pressure is good, but no injector pulse, and no spark, so he diagnosed it to a bad pcm, cool right?? go on ebay found a seller that sold them re programed it to the vin, got it yesterday, no secruity light flashing, but i kept the key foward for 10 mins, still nothing!!! so like i said hes coming back out in like 2 hours today, so guess we see what happens today

Cliff8928 · 08-11-2009, 01:03 PM

Did you check if the pink wires at the injectors are getting power? They should be B+ any time the key is on.

bdyman · 08-11-2009, 05:56 PM

ok here we go again
so he comes out , checks everything again, now the security lights has been staying on this whole time, so i just tapped the key to on and back to start, sat for the 10mins light goes out

go to fire it up it almost fires up, and then the security light comes back on, did it again, almost fires up again and then security light comes on, and the ignition switch you have to jiggle the key around to ge the key forward,

so doesnt passlock cut fuel and cut ignition??? if it is the passlock then i can switch out the ignition switch and lock, recode the key do the re learn, and it should fire right up

and i just checked again the security light is still on not flashing either, if i do the process stated above, it almost fires but then security light comes back on steady, so am i right in saying its the ignition switch?? and passlock is stoping the car from running??

cherrington17 · 08-11-2009, 05:59 PM

sounds like it.

On this car it cuts the fuel only. You replaced the pcm but you did not complete the relearn procedure which is supposedly 3 full cycles (as per GM). You're supposed to cycle the key into the on postion for 10+ minutes 3 times, and then if its not relearned you'll know its something else. If it ends up being the cylinder or switch after that then the light should be flashing, yes.

Cliff8928 · 08-12-2009, 01:29 AM

There is nothing in the service info about performing that procedure more than once.

CactusWill · 08-12-2009, 02:27 AM

Every relearn procedure I've looked up online recommends 3 cycles, I don't know but thats what I've read....

bdyman · 08-29-2009, 01:16 PM

well just pulled the vavle cover off and its the timing chain, snaped off

cherrington17 · 08-29-2009, 02:00 PM
