Transmission range sensor (neutral lock)
Ignition switch
Starter relays
I am starting to think it has something to do with the PATS system, but don't understand how to diagnose. I'd like to bypass the system in it's entirety, but don't know how. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
(as a reference, I can turn the engine over if I run a wire from the positive terminal of my battery to the solenoid - but I don't obtain spark or any fuel from the fuel pump).

i believe the theft light starts flashing quickly when you attempt to start the vehicle if the PATS is detecting theft.
