This is either your starter, or could be your ignition switch. Both are decently priced, but can be labor costly at a shop. About 2 to 3 hours for either one.

Put the key into ignition and turn it to RUN position. All dash lights will illuminate. Don't try to start the car. Leave the key in the ignition for about 5-10 minutes or until security light will stop flashing. The car should start after that. Security lock on the Pontiac disables the injectors, so the engine should crank. If it does not, you may want to check ignition switch, fuse and relay for the starter. Try to reset security first. Sometimes the magnet in the ignition lock cylinder gets dirty and needs cleaning. written by AlexGS
If the above procedure does not work the first time, try again, but right at the start insert key in and out of ignition several times to get good contact, as your key or ignition could be faulty.

the anti-theft system has activated and will have to be reset. I think the procedure is turn key on for 3 minutes then off for 10 seconds then on until the security light flashes on the dash then turn key off. if should start.
The PATS security system would prevent the engine from cranking if the system does not "see" the right chip in your key. If the system is working correctly, the light should go off after you turn the key switch on. You should have power on the small starter wire when the key switch is in the start position.
The key cylinder sensor may be faulty. if you would like to bypass the system (works only if Passlock security module is ok) follow the link. How To Permanently Disable GM PassLock System
fuss ok? how about fuse link ?any light in cluster?
when you turn ignition key to ''on'' position your dash lights should come on like engine , air bag , brake, etc and should turn off in few seconds if they dont come on, check the fuse panel for blown fusses. also check them for power with key on most of them should have power except a few that only power up when the engine cranks or runs. the fuss links are special pieces of cable that feed the susses they're designed to break when overheated and are on the positive battery cable in the starter side end .
if the lights in the dash work as noted the security system may be active .
your key reader is not reading the chip in your key you can either replace the ignition switch cost about 250 dollars parts and labor or i can tell you how to bypass it for less than 20 bucks in premium chat hope this helps
thanks wes
