Hi, when I start it, I get it to run for 1-4 seconds then it dies. The anti-Theft blinks but thats about all I know that changes. I thought maybe itwas a key problem, so I replaced the key but it still does the same thing. All the lights and everything work fine, just cant get it to stay running.

You need to reset the anti-theft system:

GM PASS LOCK RELEARN- Ignition to "run" position, try to start and let key return to "run" position
Approx ten minutes security light will go off
Turn key "off" and wait 5 seconds
Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 relearns.
Turn key off, then start it
