Okay, so I am sure that it is the passlock system. But the issue now is that doing the relearn procedure does not make the security indicator turn off. I have tried the 10 minute, and 15 minute wait with the key in the ON position. The security light stays illuminated adn the car will produce no spark. Have tested the ICM and the coil packs and crank position sensor one more time just to make sure that they arent to blame for the no start and they all checked out as good.

I have also tried the passlock bypass mentioned here ( I cant use the resistance off of my key bc the little resistor pellet has never been in the key since i got it and has never been an issue until now) http://www.kingbain.com/how-to-permanently-disable-gm-passlock-system/ also used this one after getting the resistor code from the previous help page didnt work http://www.bergerweb.net/PasslockFix/

Using the meter and taking a reading from the key side of the yellow passlock wire i got 520 ohms, tried using that resistor value but got no start. then tried the generic 2.2k ohm method and same thing, no start.

the relearn procedure is not making the security light go out no matter how long leave the key in the ON position. Again, do not have a chipped key and has never needed one to start.

am going to check to make sure the wires from the ignition are connected well to the passlock system. any help would be greatly appreciated. am a student trying to get transportation working again.
 
I have changed the pcm, and am finding out that certain relearn procedures are needed after replacing with a newly flashed PCM, such as CASE (crakshaft variation) and of course the PASSLOCK system relearn. I do not think that the CASE relearn is my main issue as the car was running for about 2 mins before the PASSLOCK killed it. As stated before the security light will not go out after doing the relearn procedure ( crank car and let key move to RUN position, leave in run position 10 mins((this is where the light never turns off)), turn to OFF position for 5 seconds then try starting.) I have also tried the 30 minute relearn to no avail.

see my other post ( 97 pontiac sunfire 2.2 no start ) for more info on what has been done and what has been tried.
