Hi, Please check within the transmission near the valve body assembly. This is where the shift solenoids should be. Thank you.

My truck will do this with a mis-programmed key. The mechanical key lets the ignition switch turn, then the detector shuts off the engine in a couple of seconds. David

have vehicle scanned --even if no trouble /check engine light lit if their is a pending code cruise will not work other is bad control switch or relay

same on all cars. 1: remove neg lug of main 12vdc car battery ,first. 2:gain access to the starter.<<< some cars not easy. 3: if heat shield there ,unbolt that. 4: remove all wires on stater, tag them for location 5: unbolt starter to put it back , reverse the list or read the manual. https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. Locate the starter motor. Remove/disconnect the two wires. Using a suitable sized socket spanner and ratchet, remove the fixing bolt/nuts. Refitting is the reverse.

the IMMO can not be defeated,(BY DESIGN) but there might be hacks or that, ,that old, googling finds hacks we have no hacking forums here. the A#1 prime purpose of IMMO is not block all hacking that is what it does and does so super well. in fact right now there is class action lawsuit. KIA???? for there new cars have no IMMO and is a being stolen right and left. so it is a brave new world that. rule #2 is never have only 1working key to start the engine, rule #3 any fobs bad see if it has battery ? if yes they do not last 27y the service manual covers all this read it yet :?> the engine does not run and stay running , right?? scan tools do not work on 1995 cars, 99.9% or just a door lock prob;em and dead battery inside keyfob. or lost the 2nd key the car came with new/? there are SB (service bulletins on this topic) IMMO. KEY fails. all fuses good, battery charged in car 12vdc. then IMMO blinks right.? means IMMO NOT HAPPY AT ALL. this bulletin is being issued to revise the Pass-Key ll, Universal Theft Deterrent System Symptom Table on pages 9D-10 (1993-94) and 8A-133-6 (1995) in the Service Manual. the Symptom Table has been changed to re-order procedures when diagnosing the condition: SECURITY Indicator ON steady (not flashing); engine starts. Diagnosing this condition should start with Chart #5 first to diagnose the Lock Cylinder and wiring. If OK, go to Chart #3 to check the Theft Deterrent Module and wiring. These steps will save time by accessing easy to reach components first. Please use the attached page to replace the existing page in the affected Service Manuals. there are 7 SB on key problems,. so have fun with that the lamp acts in 3 or 4 ways, each way has cure. read the manual? https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

How do you know it's overheating ? What are you going by to say that ? Temp. gauge in the instrument cluster ? Did you hook up a scan tool to see what the coolant temp sensor is telling the PCM/ECM -engine computer? what the real temp of the engine is.Or use a Infrared Thermometer to test at the upper radiator hose. Is the check engine light on ? Check for codes in the computers . GM had instrument cluster gauge problems 2003 to 2007 . stepper motors control the movement of the gauge needles, they had bad stepper motors those years. Sent out bunches of clusters for repair for that problem .Customers thought their vehicle was overheating but wasn't. So if your going by just the temp gauge saying that you need to have a qualified repair shop check it .

(easy no?) 6: CAR BATTERY WEAK, MAKES IMMO LIE. SO CHARGE IT. users guide quotes (lost yours its free googled.q page 2-4 ? "Any new PASS-Key® III key must be programmed before it will start your vehicle. See PASS-Key® III on page 2-29for more information on programming your new key PAGE 2-30 When the PASS-Key® III system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will stop being delivered to the engine. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high number of electrical key codes. If the engine does not start and the security message comes on, there may be a problem with your theft-deterrent system. Turn the ignition off and try again. If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key. If the engine still does not start with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key® III to have a new key made. It is possible for the PASS-Key® III decoder to learn the transponder value of a new or replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle. This procedure is for learning additional keys only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do not operate, you must see your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key® III to have keys made and programmed to the system. See your dealer/retailer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key® III to get a new key blank that is cut exactly as the ignition key that operates the system. To program the new key: 1. Verify the new key has PK3 stamped on it. 2. Insert the original, already programmed key into the ignition lock cylinder and start the engine. If the engine will not start, see your dealer/retailer for service. 3. After the engine has started, turn the key to LOCK/OFF and remove the key. For vehicles first sold in Canada, repeat Step 2 with a different, already programmed, key before proceeding to Step 4 4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to ON/RUN within 10 seconds of removing the previous key. The security message will turn off once the key has been programmed. It may not be apparent that the security message went on due to how quickly the key is programmed. 5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to be programmed" END QUOTE. ALL THIS IS IN THE GLOVE BOX. THE IMMO LAMP TELLS WHATS WRONG./

1. check all fuses
