thanks disignition, it's AT, ... when I pulled the ignition switch off the lock cylinder and twisted it as the keylock would it started but quit in a few seconds. I tricked the fuel pump relay to run full time and still no start. That would support your "injector disable" theory, which gets us back to the PCM and passlock areas. And with the ignition on and I hot-wire the starter, it starts'n'quits. And around the pole we go. I've got some GM dealers in the area so tomorrow will ask around and see if they can take the PCM over the counter and check it out, or do they need the car (and I need a tow). Edit Answer: they need the whole car to do PCM work; I found that out today from Mr Goodwrench
