Car won't start. Need help. fml
Car won't start. Need help. fml Hey guys, my car won't start.
I went to the grocery store last night, I parked and stopped the car in my space, and shut it off. I noticed the car was too far forward, so I started it again and backed up, and shut it off again. I did my shopping, and when I went to start the car again, it wouldn't crank. I couldn't even hear the starter trying to engage.
I got it home today and pulled the starter and battery, had them checked. They are both good.
I pulled the starter relay and checked for power on the wires. 1 was hot (red), and the other got hot (small green) when I tried to start the car.
I check the purple wire that goes from the relay box to the starter, for continuity, and it's good.
The hot wire to the starter, is hot. I tried to jump the starter and it jumped.
I bought a new relay, but I'm still not getting any current to the purple wire that goes to the starter.
I don't know what else to do. Can anyone give me some advice?
I have the factory security system. Is there a way that it's causing my car to not start? Can I bypass it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: 2000 Z28 btw....sorry.

I did see the light on, and I saw it flash at some point, but I don't remember seeing what it was doing by the time I stopped working on it.
I'm tired now.
If it is the Vats, how do I fix it or bypass it?

Jack, I measured the resistance of the "chip" on my key, it was 2.370 (2,370 ohms). Then I went to RadioShack and bought some resistors and made a resistor with the same resistance as the key. I soldered them together, cut the wire under the dash, and installed the resistor.
