If the theft lights blink, then that is just to scare criminals away and you can start it with any method you want to.
If you are trying to break in(BAD), are hot-wireing it, or are messing with the onboard computer, then the car has detected you are trying to break into it and will not start.

How do you deactivate a faulty anti-theft system in a 1998 Chevy Malibu?
I have a 2000 Malibu and it also had a faulty anti-theft system and the car would not start if it was flashing. So, we turn the ignition forward until all the gauges and lights come on but not starting the car and leave in this position for 10 mins. (it will stop flashing) then turn the key all the way off, then start the car in one swift motion. .........I hope this helps

What does it mean when your theft light comes on?
It is a glitch. If the car wont start put the key in the ignition put it in accessory and wait till theft light goes out. Then restart car. We spent 1500 dollars on replacements then found this is a recall and a known problem that Chevy intends to do nothing about. We have a 2001 Chevy Malibu.
How do you disable the theft system 2000 Pontiac Sunfire?
I have a 2005 sunfire and i realize that the theft systems might be different on different year models of the car- i had trouble with my theft system going off randomly- the car would crank but not start and the "theft system" light would flash. I called several dealerships and even tried calling a GM hotline and they all told me the same thing- the theft system cannot be disabled, like it or not it is part of the car and if it is defective it needs to be replaced. there is, however, a relearn procedure you can use to get the car to start without towing it to a shop. 1) try to start the car (it won't start and the theft system light will flash) 2) leave the key in and resting in the "on" position (the position it's in after you crank and release- turns on the radio, dash lights etc.). the theft system light will continue to flash for about 10 min and then it will stop flashing and stay on. 3) turn the key to "off" and leave it there for another minute or two. 4) try starting it again. if it does not start now, it should after repeating the above two or three times
