the INFL REST is your airbag light
it should blink 8? times, than go off.. is your engine light and INFL REST light staying on??
the impact sensor for the airbags is right infront of the rad.. is it possible you could have bumped it, got it wet, etc?
as far as I know, there is nothing incorporated into the airbag system to stop the car from starting, but you could try removing the SRS fuse, or unhooking your battery for a minute and hooking it back up..
I dont recommend trying to service the SRS system yourself

security bulb might be blown AND your resistor fix is FUBAR, so start from point A, and check if the starter is getting juice when the key is turned. If not, re-install new resistors, check the conections and try it again. No idea with the air bag, but you can (when you get it running) get it to the dealership and have them run codes...just a thought...

really quickly i wanna talk about the airbag. the possible reason that the light is on now is that gm put the front sensor by the radiator in a bad place that is susceptable to the elements. water, etc can easily access the sensor and that is what 90% of the time sets off that little light. ive heard multiple instances of this happening, id just try rippin a sensor off a j/y camaro and try that (if it didnt get fubar also) or buy a new one and caulk the hell out of it. as for it not starting, the airbag should have nothing to do with it as my light has been on forever due to my lazyness and its fine. airbag just wont pop... make sure bulb didnt blow, and resistor is still in place. could also be a faulty neutral safety switch. if the security light isnt coming on tho vats isnt the problem provided the light works. id check the neutral safety switch and also test the starter. my other camaro did same thing without the vats and it turned out starter was toast..... just a cupple thoughts good luck
