Put the key in and turn it to the "On" position, but don't start it.
The security light should stay lit for about 10 seconds then go out.
If that happens then the VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) system (little resistor chip in your key) is functioning properly.
If it doesn't work just like that, then VATS should be disabling the car and it won't even crank.

If this sounds like your problem, you could disable the VATS altogether (http://vats.likeabigdog.com/)

Intrigue security system?

If you are trying to bypass the security system you must first disconnect the battery for ten minutes, reconnect, turn key for one minute, remove key for ten seconds, and then try to start it. If that does not work, put the key back in, turn it for a minute, and then take it out for ten seconds and try to start it.
