I had the same problem. Goodwrench looked at my car for 2 hours could not figure it out. Then they unpluged the body control module and plugged it back in and presto, problem solved.

No dash lights? no warning lights? Then ignition is not being turned to ON. Check all your fuses. Recheck your replacement work. Battery cables clean and tight? Headlights work? If lights are bright, battery is good and cables are good, so key to ON should light up warning lights on dash. If not something up still with your ignition switch.
Suggestions: loose/corroded connection between the fuel pump and the computer; short between the fuel pump and computer; computer firmware needs to be reset.
with the details that you have provided, it sounds like it may be either a ground, or ignition relay, but I've also encountered the same problem being the starter wire to the starter. The reason I think that is because of your dash lights coming back on .If you have use of a voltmeter you can test and see how much power is actually going to the starter An ignition relay could do the same, but usually won't interrupt the engine after it's running.
The problem is in the ignition cylinder lock. The body control module (BCM) is what controls the theft deterrent system on the 2000 Pontiac Sunfire. It can be reprogrammed, but is complex to do.

Hi,
First thing to do is turning the ignition on and wait till the light go off
than drive to a garage to inspect the ignition switch (faulty anti theft)
It sounds like it might be a bad crank sensor. Although I had a sunfire one time I was working on that did this from a bad ignition switch. Check for power on the pink/blk wire at the ignition module plug with the key in the run position and when cranking the engine. Also do you have a security light flashing?
what is getting power and whats not? headlights work? horn? turn ignition switch on. lights on dash light up? crank car, cranks? no crank? cranks but wont run? ck eng light comes on when key on? clicks when turning ket to crank?
Its likely that you have either a bad ignition switch or a bad neutral safety switch (if stickshift, clutch switch) Try starting in neutral...if it starts, change neutral switch (jump across clutch switch, check starting in neutral with your foot on the brake) Ignition switch is on top of steering column under dash.

problem was remote start
Check the firewall connector, water can get in it and cause this
Which lights? Oil, Check engine, what?
