Answer
Hi Ken:

I'm sorry for the delayed answer.  It seems the original question was deleted from my inbox.
Your dilemma is such... Your vehicle has a PassKey system.  On the original key are the engravings PK2 or PK3.  The steering column has a sensor that reads the key rotating in the lock and then sends a signal to the fuel system to engage.

Since you replaced the column, you now need to reprogram the replaced Passkey system.  
We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to reprogram the ignition switch on GM vehicles (for a small fee).  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions. Here is a link to that page.  This covers many of the switches from 1997-2006 to present.
