Car Alarms: No start/not much cash, bonneville ssei, shadetree mechanic


Question
PLEASE HELP my son has a 94 Bonneville ssei.In the process of losing his home to foreclosure Two young guys hired by the bank to clear the house of all it's contents attempted to take the car.The ignition switch was drilled out so a screwdriver could be used to start it and get it out of park.Obviously that didn't work for them.Now I have the car at my home and am trying to fix it.When I turn the ignition the dash lights and system check go on but when I turn to the start position nothing happens.My wife called a Pontiac dealer and they told her it's going to cost big dollars to fix and it will have to be towed in.I am disabled and on a fixed income.I know there has to be some way to repair/bypass this system.I'm considered a pretty good shadetree mechanic but this has me by the short ones!Any ides?
                          Thank You so Much,

Answer
Wish I had a cheap alternative but the PASSLOCK is the
problem here.

Ok, bad news I am afraid.
This vehicle has a the PASSLOCK II key
based engine disabling system.

A bypass is required to circumvent.
It has now locked down the fuel injector
rail, and you will need to tow it in to GM for
evaluation, and resetting.

Or,

You can get the PLJX bypass kit to get around
this issue.

This Passlock Bypass Module is designed to momentarilly
allow the engine to remote start by sending a proper
coded pulse to open the fuel rail passlock injector
cut off circuit.

The output from an alarm/remote starter
would then shut down the pulse, once it has detected
the engine has engaged, and preserve the integrity
of the passlock system.

That is it's designed purpose.

However, in your case, this input wire on the PLJX module,
instead of going to a momentary ground pulse from
an alarm/remote starter,
would go to a constant chassis ground, through
the bypass module, grounding out the PASSLOCK.
The PASSLOCK would then always be bypassed as long
as that wire is chassis grounded.

I can not speak about a damaged passlock system,
like if a thief has destroyed it, because I do not
get into this part of GM'S security application.
But as a happy coincidence to installing
after market remote starters, this does work on bypassing
passlock in most all GM vehicles we've run into,
including your year GM vehicle as well.

Also, this is a self learning, resistor sensing
and adjusting module. Once the VATS wires have been tapped,
you would press the program button to learn,
and it does. The car should then allow start.

The module runs 69.95, and can be
put in on your own. Best solution I can offer.
