Here is what happened. I had a hole in my muffler that melted a gas supply line and part of tank. I have the tank out and laying on ground. I repaired the lines and the tank is melted some but not all the way through. After I fixed what needed to be fixed I started it up and it ran for 30 seconds and died like it ran out of gas. Now it will just turn over and I am getting no gas in cylinders. It will start with starting fluid. I checked fuel supply and return pressures and those are good. I have been reading about this pass key and security light on dash cluster or blinking light on dash. I do not see either. I do have a pass key fuse and all are good. I still tried the reset where you turn the key to on for 10 min and turn off and repeat three times. Did not do anything. Not sure if this car even has that chip. Key is just soft rubber that says gm. I am lost and I really need this car running today. Thanks for the help.

one other thing about your security system, it may be just a key type which if you have another key try that as the diode goes bad sometimes

I don't even think this car has that. I key is soft rubber and I don't think there is a chip in it plus I have none of these security lights. That light we were talking about before is just for radio.

well I don't think it's your problem anyhow it should really be scanned for codes as well as checking fuses underhood but do what you want
