Car Alarms: wont start, gm vehicle, uncommon problem

Question
98 camaro factory alarm,periodically won't start turn key nothing happens only security light on dash nothing else, after a few trys it starts?

Answer
Not an uncommon problem with this car.
I am assuming that we are dealing with a

This vehicle has a the ORIGINAL VATS key based
engine disabling system, and from the description,
it appears you've reset the VATS somehow.

This is a problem that won't just
go away either. It needs to be addressed soon.

The car does not recognise the chip in the ignition
key when that happens. When removing the power,
you inadvertently wiped the memory as well.

You can try to put the key
in the ignition, turn to the on position & wait at
least 10 mins like that when it happens, and that
MIGHT work. But after awhile, it will stop working at all.
Your ignition switch VATS reader assembly may be to blame.

In some cases, the VATS (GM'S VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
will re learn the code this way, and will then
allow the restart all the time. But if this does not work,
then go to any GM vehicle dealer to have the service department
evaluate the issue, & re code it.

Good luck I hope method 1 does the trick!

You can do a permanant bypass on this system.

Let me know what your solution was.
