Question:
I have a 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, recently it hasn't been starting occasionally and we couldn't figure out what it was. We took it in and they said our anti theft system needs to be replaced. Is there any way of preventing it from happening, for example, not locking the doors or something?? I can't pay to fix it and it's practically a brand new car.

Attempt to start the car by turning the key to the Start/Run Position.
Observe that the vehicle fails to start and that the security light is illuminated.
Release key to the 'ON/Accessory' Position. (DO NOT turn key to the 'off' position.)
Allow the vehicle to sit with the key in the 'ON/Accessory' Position for no less than 11 minutes.
Turn key to off position and allow the vehicle to remain in the 'OFF' position for no less than 30 seconds.
Repeat #1 - #5 for 3 cycles.
On 4th attempt, car should start.
NOTE : Since this is a fairly long procedure, I would limit all electrical sources, such as disconnecting headlights, to prevent discharge of battery.

NOTE 2 : It is SAFE to wait LONGER than the allotted time, but it is not safe to wait less time. I.e. 12 minutes instead of 11 minutes should be safe; however, waiting 10 minutes instead of 11 minutes is not safe.

Sheesh who would want to steal a car like that. That's the kind of excitement Pontiac builds. Remove the anti-theft system.I bet that the antitheft system is tied in electronically to the other components on the computer board. Bet there is not much you can do except replace it.
