1995 pontiac grand prix does not start. the key reads 30ohms resistance and that is what I get at the wires coming from the ignition. all fuses under hood good. dash lights up but when i turn the key nothing. The courtesy light does not even dim. I can get the starter to turn over by jumping the solonoid but it dies. Understand the VAT issue. Ideas??

Not sure what part of the key you are measuring or the significance.

Your car might be fitted with an immobiliser and if it is it could be malfunctioning but the vehicle handbook is the best source of information about this.

Your description could equally indicate faulty ignition/starter switch, connections, wiring or starter relay if fitted.

SOURCE: 06 pontiac grand prix wont start no clicking when you turn the key over even jump starting the battery, has dash lights & radio & parking lights. battery tested good. put a used starter & altinator on

Used parts such as starters and altinators don't last. It might **** but it sounds like you need to buy a new starter,altinator, and battery. Or just start with buying one at a time.

Testimonial: "kellertech1?? i tried something new.. my batt. was dead after sitting for 5hrs so i jumped it & later unhooked the batt. & hooked the batt. back up next day & car started ok kinda a weak start but started. so can a starter drain a batt or where should i look for a short or could this be a weak batt. that tested good but 2 weak 2 start the car."

If you remove the factory radio, wiil the car stop starting

The problem is most likely the ignition lock cylinder, there are two tiny wires coming out of the cylinder that break over time. You can replace the ignition lock cylinder or you can bypass the system. If you want to bypass the system, use an ohmmeter to find the resistance across the chip in the key. Then go to Radio Shack and purchase a resistor of the same resistance value. Wire this resistor across the two white wires coming out of the steering column under the dash. These white wires are encased in orange insulation where they come out of the column, then break out of the insulation near the connector.

My 1994 pontiac grand prix is not starting intermitently. My security light is on my dash and won't go off. It normally will start after a few minutes, but it is happening more and more. I got a new key...

There is no way to override the security system that I know of.You probably have a bad ignition cylinder.This is the part that the key goes into.Unless you know the resistance of that key and then you need to get a resistor of that resistance and put it in the wiring from the ignition cylinder on the wire that goes to the pcm.This will enable the pcm to allow fuel to the engine.Hope this helps.Good luck.

1995 pontiac grand prix se 3.1 want start, tried shifting park to neturl, plenty spark, tried shorten starter with screw driver, securtity flashes on dash, turn key nothing , all fuses hot, what next,

If the security system has been triggered this will shut down not only your starter but also your fuel pump. the most comon cause on a passlock II system is the wiring at the ignition lock cylinder breaks causing the computer to not be able to see the resistance chip in the key. you will most likely need a new ignition lock cylinder, keep in mind that you need to have the new cylinder keyed for the original key otherwise if you use a different key the security system will see the wrong resistance and you are back to square 1. your local dealer will be able to read the resistance of your original key and get you a cylinder to match.

I have a 1995 pontiac grand prix sometime it will start and sometimes it won't. i thought it was the starter solenoed so i bought a new starter but it is still doing it. when i turn the key everything...

Given the age of the car I'd check the neutral safety switch and the shifter linkage it could be causing the neutral safety switch to get a bad reading. After that I'd check the ignition switch itself. I don't remember if the '95 had a starter switch relay but you might check that too.

2005 Pontiac grand prix 3.8 doesn't start

Try this: Turn ignition on for AT LEAST 10 minutes without doing anything else. After 10 minutes, turn the key to start, thre is a good chance of it running. Long explanation, but it has to do with the PassLock security system futzing up.
