I just had that problem in my 2002. The dealer blamed the fuel pump module - that's the pump and gauge sending unit together. The replacement module is $500! I hope its fixed...but from what I've read it could also be the fuel pump relay - or the socket into which it plugs. Next time, I'd try this fix first - get a new relay (about $10) and replace the original. Also, clean the socket where it plugs in. If that doesn't fix it, shell out the money for the pump/sensor module.

I don't think you can bypass them.
Start with 20 minutes and then start checking them every 5 minutes. When they are gold brown they should be done.
You can't bypass or reset security system, bring it to the dealer.
Does the new pump run? if yes then is there spark at the plugs? also did you replace the fuel filter?
your alero wil start stalling and eventually stop..
Turn the key to "on" and let it sit for approx 10 minutes until the 'security' light stops flashing. Turn to off and start as normal.
Hi..I recently had troubles with my alero, and it was the intake manifold gasket, which i guess is a common problem with 2000 alero's...i would get that checked out

I have the same car. Mine doesn't start sometimes. It does not start after I have driven for ten minutes or so and stopped and turned off the engine for about 25 minutes. It will start immediately after it is turned off or ten minutes later, but not 30 minutes later. I have to wait about an hour or longer for it to start again. If I turn off the engine, then run back to the car every ten or fifteen minutes to start it, it is fine. I also think it will start if I turn on the ignition for 30 seconds or so before I crank it.
I have a 2003 Alero While it sits in the sun for hours it will not start up and when the sun goes down it will start what could be the problem
It will start around 2:30 Tuesday morning and end either three hours later or three minutes later
Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the on position. Leave in this position for ten minutes. Turn key to off then to start. This should reset the security and the car should start right up.
Yes to bypass,Press on the brake, turn car to as then on let the carburetor fill then, put the car in neutral,then start. If the security light is flashing, the car will not start for 10 minutes. Do not try to start while light is flashing.
IF YOUR BATTERY DIES I found the answer to this under Alero 2002 security system will not let you start the car with out leaving key on for 10 minutes then you turn the key off then it will start?and this worked for me too. My battery went dead and after a boost and several other things the car would still not start. I then tried the above (key in the ignition and turned to the on position for 10 - 15 minutes or until "Security" stops flashing on the instrument cluster) and it started right away. I believe with the PASSLOCK II TM system the resistance of the key must be read before the car will start. Thanks for the advice DD
my 1992 dodge dakota wont stay running it stalls when driving and takes a few minutes to get started but if i wait it will start
It probably won't start
