anyone a GM mechanic?

Might be a problem with the key if chipped, not the car.

I'm not sure if it is or not to be honest

If you have a second key try it out and see if you still have the same problem. I had a work truck that had a similar problem, it stopped recognizing the key one day so it would start but then shut off after a few seconds. Had to get a new key from the dealer and problem was solved.

I'll give that a go. Should I avoid the remote start then as well?

Not 100% sure but I don't think it would matter if it turns out to be key related.

Yeah I'm thinking its something else as this other key is doing it too.. I may go to radioshack an pick up some resistors and give that fix a try. I'm just confused it says to connect the wires from the bcm to the resistor and then tape off/insulate the wires going to the ignition. Won't that stop the ignition from getting power or are those just the wires from the bcm? Other then that it doesnt look too mind boggling.

One thing to be aware of is if you have a stock deck that has the theft lock security system, once you disconnect it, you will have to reset it.

Here is a youtube video on it
