yes
the battery or the starter could be bad. the vats system could be activated. let me know.
To reset the passkey security system on a 1991 Camaro, first, ensure that the ignition is off. Then, turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine and wait for about 10 minutes until the security light turns off. Next, turn the ignition off and then back to the "On" position for another 10 minutes, repeating this process a total of three times. Finally, after the third cycle, the system should be reset, allowing you to start the vehicle.
Read the book and I mean read it all!
your battery may be dead or try unhooking your battery for 1 hour then hook back up and try again
"The security resistor on your key may be dirty or dead. Try a new key from GM. It will come programmed right from the dealer. Another possibility is that your ignition key also has a resistor in it. That can only mean that there is a passkey system such as the one used in a 1994 Buick Regal Custom. When the passkey system fails, it costs about $350 to replace. However, for a Camaro, it's worth the money. Take it to a garage to test the system." I own a 1991 Camaro that has the passkey, and I trip it accidentally a lot. When this is done, go under the dash and there is a brown/black/purple wire with a black connector. Unplug this, then plug it back in and the system is reset and the car should start.
no
It's called VATS bypass and you can get them on eBay cheap.
bad VATS, vehicle security system. you need a new ignition tumbler then another key made. the tumbler is 50 bucks at auto stores and the key is 45 for a copy.
The security system prevents unauthorized operation of the car, your system has been tripped, and the car disabled. You will need to reset the security system to start it. If you have the original key you should be able to do it.
it might be the chip in the key. i know it does it in later model cars.
The VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) causes the Security light to go on. If the security light is on (besides for a brief moment when starting the car/turning the key), and you cannot start your car, it has to do with the resistor chip in your key. That's the black rectangular piece of plastic with a metal strip in the middle of it. Camaro ignitions need to match an electrical value to the value of the chip in your key to start the car. I believe there are 15 values ranging in ohms. When the ignition and the chip register the same value, you can start the car. If they don't, then you cannot. When you cannot start the car and the security light is on, that means that the ignition and the chip in the key either do not match or one is not registering. I had this problem in my camaro and had to wire a resistor into the VATS wire to bypass the system....basically, it thinks whatever key I use always has the correct value. Resistors are very cheap and you can do this yourself, I had a guy come out and do it just to make sure everything was right.
