1995 Pontiac Firebird 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Okay. So first,

My car stopped working out of nowhere one day. I would turn the ignition and nothing would happen but the security light would flash.

Then I was was told that my Theft Deterrent Relay (TDR) may have been bad. So I was told to bypass it. (Joining the yellow and purple wires). That only allowed my ignition to start and not my fuel injector.

So then I tried to replace the TDR and that made the car make a weird noise. So I scrapped that idea and tried to replace the Theft Deterrent Module (TDM). After doing that, my car still did not start.

Did I do something wrong? Please help me fix this issue as this is my only car.

Thank you so much!

What was the weird noise coming from? Maybe the starter motor area? The ignition switch or starter solenoid need checked.

It sounded like it was coming from the Theft Deterrent Relay oddly enough and when I touched it, it was vibrating. But the ignition works. The cars' just not getting the signal to pump fuel from the TDM. Is there any way I can reprogram my Theft Deterrent Module to send the signal to the fuel enable?
