Does anyone know the specifics of Chevy's anti-theft systems?
I have an 02 S-10, 4.3L, auto, 4x4. I just finished putting an engine in it (that is a whole other story) and it won't start. I believe the starter is a problem, as it works intermittently, but when it is working, here is what it does.
The security light comes on, then goes off after a few minutes. After this it will crank, two or three times, then it won't even try to engage the starter (which I can still do manually by jumping power to it). When it is cranking it will not even try to start on its own, but the fuel pump does prime and the engine will catch on ether.
I plan to play with the security reset tomorrow, but the crux of my question is this:
Is this security system a starter inhibit, an injector inhibit, a fuel pump inhibit, or some combination of the three?
