Car wont start, theft light flashing, but won't re-learn.
Sunday, May 22, 2011 9:44 AM
i have a 1997 pontiac sunfire 2.2L i have had it for about 6 months, and just within the last month it had trouble starting. sometimes when i start the car, it would stall and the theft light would flash for 5 seconds then go solid, usually i just wait for it to go solid then try again and it would work. but its getting worse, maybe every 5 starts, sixth time wont start. and now even when it does go solid after 5 seconds, i cant get it started. i tried changing the key cylinder and did the 15 minutes re-learn process, but still no luck. the car had remote start before, but i removed it.
any ideas?

is that the main computer thats behind the front fender? could it be anything else? bad ground? i can't seem to figure out a pattern why its doing this, its so random, one day it starts fine all day, the next day, every other start makes the theft light come on.
