    no it doesn't , disables fuel injectors . If there is a problem with the anti-theft system it will start an run for two or three seconds an shut off . Has nothing to do with the ignition system .

    Passlock™ System
    The theft deterrent system has been incorporated into the body control module (BCM). The theft deterrent is provided in order to prevent the vehicle operation if the correct key is not used in order to start the vehicle. The ignition key turns the lock cylinder. The cylinder rotation produces an analog voltage code in the Passlock™ sensor. This voltage code is received by the BCM. The BCM compares the voltage code to the previously learned voltage code. If the codes match, a class 2 message is sent from the BCM to the powertrain control module (PCM)/vehicle control module (VCM). The message enables the fuel injectors.

    Body Control Module
    The Body Control Module (BCM) contains the theft deterrent system logic. The BCM reads the Passlock™ data from the Passlock™ sensor. If the Passlock™ data is correct, the BCM will pass theft. The BCM will then transmit the fuel continue password to the VCM/PCM.

    During the tamper mode the vehicle may start. The vehicle will then stall. If the BCM receives the wrong Passlock™ data, the VTD will immediately go into the tamper mode. The tamper mode will lock-out the vehicle fuel injectors for 10 minutes. The SECURITY indicator will flash while the VTD is in the tamper mode.

    If the Passlock™ sensor sends a correct password to the BCM when the ignition is in the ON position, the BCM will send a fuel enable signal to the VCM/PCM. The VCM/PCM will not disable the fuel due to any BCM message for the remainder of the ignition cycle.



    personally i'd look at the crankshaft position sensor ,any codes stored in the PCM - engine computer ?


    Electronic Ignition (EI) System Description
    Ignition System Overview
    The ignition system consists of the following components or circuits:

    • The 8 ignition secondary wires

    • The 8 ignition coils

    • The 8 ignition control (IC) circuits

    • The camshaft position (CMP) sensor

    • The camshaft reluctor wheel

    • The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor

    • The related connecting wires

    • The powertrain control module (PCM

Hello. Yes, your Chevrolet's security system will 'shut-down' the ignition system; causing your truck to start but stop instantly. The truck 'thinks' it is being 'stolen' and will 'enable' it's security system to 'hamper' stealing it. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

I have a 1991 chevy with a 4.3 vortec that just had the engine rebuilt. has spark and gas but wont fire. what could be the cause?

If your 1991 Chevy's 4.3 Vortec engine has spark and fuel, but still fails to ignite, there are several possible reasons to consider. Timing: Make sure the burn time is set correctly. Incorrect timing can prevent the engine from starting. Double-check the timing marks to make sure they align properly. Compression: Make sure the engine has adequate compression. If the pressure is low in one or more cylinders, starting problems may occur. A compression test will help determine this. Fuel Delivery: Even though you said it has gas, pay close attention to the fuel delivery system. Make sure the fuel pump is working properly, the fuel filter is clean, and the fuel lines are not clogged or leaking. Air intake: Inspect air intake for blockages or leaks. A clogged air filter or leaking intake manifold gasket can affect engine performance. Vacuum leaks: Check the vacuum lines and connections for leaks. A vacuum leak can cause an uneven mixture of air and fuel and cause starting problems. Sensors: The engine relies on sensors to send information to the computer unit (ECU). Defective sensors such as the crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor can prevent the engine from stalling. Wiring and connections: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and non-corrosive. Damaged wiring or loose connections can block signals to engine parts. ECU/PCM: The engine's computer (ECU/PCM) can be faulty, preventing proper signals from reaching the engine components. Distributor cap and rotor: If your engine uses a distributor, inspect the distributor cap and rotor for any signs of wear or damage.

2001chevy Tahoe will start and die right away

There could be several possible reasons for your Chevy Tahoe to start and then die immediately. Here are a few things you can check:
  1. Fuel system: Make sure you have enough fuel in the tank and that the fuel pump is functioning properly. Check the fuel filter as well.
  2. Ignition system: Check the ignition system, including the spark plugs, wires, distributor, and ignition coil. Make sure they are all working properly.
  3. Idle air control valve: The idle air control valve (IAC) helps regulate the engine's idle speed. If it's faulty or clogged, it can cause the engine to stall. Check the IAC valve and clean or replace it if necessary.
  4. Mass air flow sensor: The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and helps determine the correct fuel-to-air ratio. If it's dirty or faulty, it can cause the engine to stall. Clean or replace the MAF sensor if needed.
  5. Security system: If your Chevy Tahoe has a factory-installed security system, it may be malfunctioning and preventing the engine from starting. Try resetting the security system and see if that helps.
If you're unable to diagnose and fix the problem on your own, it may be best to take your vehicle to a trusted mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair.

1996 Tahoe 4x4 5.7 Vortec dies when I turn the steering wheel periodically, when I start up and pull into the street, then will start up again and then dies, or if I get gas, and pull out and turn wheel it...

The 1990's chevy trucks(all of them) had fuel pump and grounding problems:

1. Check the fuel pump ground strap next to the gas tank as it could be broken from the connector or just loose.

2. Have a fuel pressure test done on the fuel lines at the engine top. (Note: if there isn't enough fuel pressure, replace the fuel pump.)
