Well i got the BCM to stop clicking by changing the courtesy fuse,and my doors now lock again through the remote.BUT!!!!! My security light still flashes and the car will not start.This "Flashing Security Light" issue is really kicking my a&%,i have tried everything to get the car to start.From what ive read is that if its flashing the BCM does not recognize the pellat in the key,now the "chip" in my key is kinda loose so could that be the problem?????
Should i go to the dealer and have a new key made,is that a guaranteed fix for my problem???

Well i got my VATS bypassed and had my fuel filter changed.The guy said the filter was very dirty and my 02 sensors are reading but very slow.Also,when i went to start it i didnt hear the fuel pump prime anymore and the car just cranks and cranks but dosent start.When i did get it started finally it was running worse then before the filter was changed.What does it mean that my 02 sensors are reading slow,do they need replaced?...also since i cant hear my fuel pump prime and my car just basicly cranks and barley starts does it mean my fuel pump/regulator is fried?

" does it mean my fuel pump/regulator is fried?"
Sounds like it's time for a major fuel system cleaning.
Tank down, pump/sock replaced, rest of the parts inspected.[Including the wiring]
Injectors out and cleaned/tested like they should be.....On a bench.

Replacing the key is probably all you need to do. Start their, as its the least expensive route and most likely, its the root of your vats issue. Then you can get back to the original problem. You might want to drain the entire fuel system and perform a complete tune up.

Well i found out what was wrong...NO COMPRESSION ON #1 and 125psi on #7 due to a broken valve spring and another broken HS rocker arm...My great luck continues!!!
