Exclamation 2001 Grand Am GT Help!

If this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move.

Car: 2001 Grand Am GT with Passlock II

I posted on another website so here is the link:

It is easier to just post the link rather than try to explain everything again. Please let me know your opinions on the matter. Ask me if you need something explained more in detail. I think the problem may be fixed with a new ign. lock cyl., but it may be something else such as the fuel pump. Thanks for your time.

Is there a test to check the sensor on a lock cyl. (ign. lock cyl.) for passlock II cars? I did a continuity test from a haynes book and it failed, but I was wondering if there is a test just for passlock? Thanks.

Thanks anyways guys, but I narrowed it down to the ign. lock cyl. and went ahead and ordered a new one. Since I ordered one, I figured what the heck and took apart the lock cyl. and hosed it down with brake cleaner. Put everything back together ( after it was clean and dry ) and it started right up. I have started it without any problem for about 15 times now. It didn't look dirty, but it fixed it. I'll repace it when I get the new one anyway.
