I have come across this exact problem myself and YES, when the car does not initially start and the engine keeps cranking - STOP attempting to turn the engine (ignition) on. One MUST turn the key to the on or start position furthest to the point where the key springs back and allow the SECURITY light to blink until it stops blinking. This usually takes anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes and possibly even longer. Regardless of how long it actually takes before the SECURITY light to stop flashing, one MUST wait that time out before he/she can switch the key to the OFF position then once again try to attempt the start of the engine.
Good luck to all those with this issue.
IF YOUR BATTERY DIES 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 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

What would cause a 2002 Alero not to start not even a clicking sound when turning on the key?
First thing that I would do is check the battery. The clicking sound is the selenoid on the starter. Usually that means the starter is bad. Isn't very hard to replace. Hope this helped.

is there spark to the plugs? is there fuel to the injectors? timing correct? check these things in order and deal with each one to find the answer. too many variables at this point, need to narrow it down

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.

I have an Oldsmobile alero 99 and the security light is constantly on however the car starts leading me to believe the security feature is not working. How can I fix the problem?
I wouldn't fix it if i was you.....I have a 2000 alero, and the security system (passlock) keeps it from starting often, and it seems to be a big problem with them. So if your security system isn't working but the car is running fine I wouldn't mess with it..
How do you reset the security on a 2001?
If you're talking about on 01 Alero that's easy. Put the key in and turn it to the on position leave it for 10 minutes and then take the key out leave it for about 5 seconds and then try starting it. Note: make sure the security light has quit flashing on the dashboard. My alero has done this several times, and I've had friends try it in grand am's and this works too. it has something to do with resetting the system. Hope this helps you out.

2001 Oldsmobile alero quits when turned off will not restart?
It's probably related to your security system. If that's the case you'll need to take it to a dealer to get it cleared up. I found out after countless hours of working on my sister's Alero that they're Oldsmobile's version of the Edsel.

I've had this problem where I couldn't start my car and it turns out it was because the security light was on. To fix it: Place the key in the ignition and turn it one rotation (so battery is on) then leave it in the ignition for 10 minutes. Restart car and security light will be off.... also car will start!
