Re: crank no start

No. For some reason the security system shuts the electrical system down partialy causing it not to fire correctly or start. It's been a very common problem with this model.

What we had to do is turn the key to the ACC position for 10 min or the security light on the dash stops blinking. Then turn the key off wait 30 seconds then start the car and it popped right off.

I never would have thought of that being the cause but it was. I appreciate your advice and keep this in mind for these GM models especially the 2001 Alero.
