Yep, thats your good ol' VATS ****** up. Thats not uncommon on these cars. I almost suggested thats but you hadnt mentioned the security light at the time. I knew it wasnt the damn clutch saftey switch cause that being broke or removed will NOT stop the car from starting. At least in the 5yrs I have owned my car & drowned myself in f-body information I have yet to see a car not start purely from the clutch saftey switch not functioning. Along with driving my own for 5yrs without replacing the switch.
