Most likely a malfunctioning VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) component. Your ignition key most likely has a pellet embedded on it (it's just a resistor, not a microchip) which makes contact with two contacts inside the ignition switch. This is the most common point of failure. When the contacts get dirty or wear out, the security system can't read the value of the resistor on your key, and will disable the starter and fuel pump for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes (when the light stops flashing) you can try to start the car again, but if the contacts are damaged badly enough, you'll never get your car started. The most simple fix is cleaning your key, trying a different key, and cleaning the contacts in the switch. If that doesn't help, the proper way to fix the problem is to replace the ignition switch, but this can be expensive. Here is a link to an article describing how to bypass the lock and key altogether, as long as you don't mind cutting some wires. http://vats.likeabigdog.com

A 2001 Chevy camaro security lights on is that why the car won't start?
This problem is caused by the GM Theftlock system which is a security system that whenever the ignition is tampered with the vehicle cuts off fuel and refuses to start. The problem with this system is that there seems to be an issue in many GM vehicles where the system is faulty and constantly is tripping the system at random leaving owners stranded. The quick solution that is located in your owners manual is to leave your key in the "ON" position for appx 10 minutes until the "Security" or "Theft System" light stop blinking and become solid... then turn the key to "OFF" and attempt to restart the vehicle. This has never failed for me.. but is becoming annoying. My mother drives a 2004 Grand Am SE1 V6 and it has just started this problem... also I own a 2002 Chevrolet Malibu which started with this problem a few years ago which finally got fixed when I had my mechanic completely replace and re-key my ignition.. which may not be a solution for everyone.. but I am glad it worked for me.
