Pontiac Repair: 99 Pontiac Bonneville (6 cyl) starts but dies, pontiac bonneville, keyless lock


Question
Hello - my car acts like it's going to start but then dies immediately.  Someone suggested it may be due to the security system so I locked it with the keyless lock and it sat for several hours.  It started and I was able to drive about 2 miles before it died and then wouldn't start.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

Answer
Hi
If the security light is on steady or on blinking, it is a problem with PassLockIII system.
If it is on for 5-10 seconds then goes off, it is NOT a security problem.
Not to say it is not a problem.
I would recommend taking it to a repair shop your familiar with and have the PCM scanned for codes.
It may be setting codes for Security system.
Try that. If more helps is needed, please feel free to follow post back.
I Hope this helps.
