How did the Dealer tell you how to do it?

    After the 11 minutes does the security light stop flashing? When you are doing this don't leave the key off so long.

    Yes, Take you steering covers off and tell me what colors are the three wires coming out of the ignition lock cylinder. Do you have an ohmmeter?

    Or you can replace the lock cylinder. The contacts for the security system are bad. Do you have your old lock cylinder out of your old column?

Replaced my steering column on my 94 camaro with one from a 98 ,car wouldnt start so I grounded the blk/ylw wire on TD start Relay.Car starts and runs only 3 seconds then dies.Anyone have any Ideas?

You may have replaced with a chipped ignition. I'm not sure how that would effect your starting, but my car will run for 2 seconds if I start with a non chipped car, then dies. This is an absolute guess, sorry I can't be more accurate.

My 2002 Chevy Suburban will start but not stay running and the Remote locks sudenly do not work either what could the problem be?

Without more information, it's impossible to be sure, but it sounds like your security system module has failed, and it is in "lockout" mode, where it will shut the fuel pump off after a few seconds in order to disable the vehicle (thinking it's being stolen).

98 Suburban will not start

Check for spark when it won't start. If no spark, it's an ignition problem-suspect the crank position sensor. The computer won't cause spark from the coils if the crank sensor gets hot and fails.

My truck wont start !

Have you checked the fuel pump relay and the EEC relay for power and a ground signal from the computer ?
The fuel pump relay should send power to the pump for 3 seconds when you turn the key on.

Power steering

I have recently had to work on 3 different jeep cherokees 92, 98, 99 and have encountered a similar problem on the 92. The serpentine belt broke and needed replacement, it connects all the major functions in your motor including your power steering, fan, water pump and yes altenator...after replacing your new powersteering pump (which by the way is a real pain in the **** with having to mount the new pulley...)
The jeep wouldnt start and I also had a drained battery so I had to use a jump box to get it started...there is no such thing as a safety for power steering...

Starting Problem 1999 GMC Suburban, 1500

turn the key to the on pos. and listen for a huming in the rear of the car as your fuel pump is in the tank. if you don't hear it then i would say that the pump is bad and need to be replace, but if you hear it it could be weak . try takeing off the air cleaner and spray some quick start down the intake and try starting it . if it start i would replace the pump . very easy to replace.
