Try a different machine to read the codes then post a reply ,i have no idea what could cause this on this engine as remember that anything over 1.6/2.0 litre is regarded as a big negine here in europe ,most i work on are under 1.2 ,but if its not accelerating from idle then i would suspect a vacumn leak to one of the sensors but not having much practical experiance then i couldnt say exactly
you've found the right place buddy
I keep buying manuals from various websites so I can damn well help u in this..

I had a car that did that to me, turned out to be the battery. It was getting old and needed replacing. You could clean the contacts for the battery as well, might help a little. My car ran for a hour or more but if I stopped and tried starting shortly after I was toast. Had to wait 45 min. or more to start. Hope this helps.
Where did you get the bulb. I tried a cheap one and it did not work correctly. I found a bulb dealer that had I believe had a warrentee of a year and I have had no problem since. I have a WD73737. the cheap bulb carrage was not quite to specs and did not fit correctly from bulb surface and there was a gap and color kept changing on screen. I got the bulb cheaper than Mitsubishi, aprox 75 t0 80dollars.
if the security light is flashing than the anti theft is active. The anti theft shuts down the injectors and will not let the vehicle start.
You'll need a battery charger to do this. Hook up the battery charger to the battery.
Place the key in the igniton and attempt to start. Let the key return to the run postion and leave it there untill the light stops flashing. Turn the key off
Turn the key on (do not try to start) and wait for the light to stop flashing again.
turn the key off and then try to start the vehicle.
You can google search "resetting gm security" and find this info as well.
The fuel pump only comes on for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned on until it starts.I would check the fuel pressure it should be 60-66 psi with key on engine off.Sounds like a weak fuel pump to me you'll know once you check the pressure.If its not within specs replace pump.
