I copied this from an old post and was wondering if anyone knows what the problem may be. There were no confirmed solution in the post. My 97 Z24 is doing the exact same thing.

ok heres the deal i have a 99 z24 2.4l 4speed auto. battery has been in and out and finally bit the dust. got a new battery for it, and it wouldnt stay running. then it wouldnt start at all. i pulled it home with our blazer, got it home . i figured it had something to do with the theft system. the theft light would stay on. eventually it went off and it started and had it running for about 2 mins. then all of a sudden it just died. no spit no sputter just complete loss of power! just like i turned the key off. ive had electrical problems in the past with this car, and unfortunatly no codes due to the battery being disconected. i did notice when the theft light is on, (key on not running) the check engine light is off i can here something intermittenly getting power and the check engine light flickers when this is happening. when the light stays on, the theft light goes out and it will start but immediatly stall. it seems to me like a loose wire somewhere just dont know where i should look. the battery was used from interstate. could something with the battery be messed up thats causing a short somewhere? heres a list of things that have been replaced in the past:
new computer, used engine, new alternator, new starter, new plugs,wires,coilpacks, new cam sensor, anything else i should be looking at if the theft system is causing this is there a rest procedure? PLEASE HELP!!!! having one vehicle is really hard
