starter turns but car wont start

I have a PA 94 and the car shut off on me a few days ago and would not start however the starter would crank and crank . I had not luck with it starting and I then noticed the remote for lockin the car would not work either nor did it work to push the button in the door for either locks or windows ......the next day I jacked the car up top peek at stater wires but I gave after i could not reach the starter cables up so I lowered the jack and tried the key and it started right up then everything worked fine again (remote locks and pwer window), but 2 days later it did it again and then like before the remote did not work and power windows/doors did not work
what do i do or what should i look for?
please help

Re: it wont start and remote dont work

Sounds like an ignition inerrupt, from your resistor in the key or security system. If you have another key, try it to see if it will work.

Check for a broken wire in the ignition key tumbler that reads the chip in the key.

:22yikes:
The wires are behind the ignition switch, in the steering coloum. These links are from other GM post, however all GM ignition switches with pass key function, work the same way.
