my 99 malibu had started to act up. the theft system light would flash when
i tried to start it and i would have to wait five minutes before i could
try again but now the theft system light stays on alll the time nad still
but less often i will have to wait to start the car because the light
willl flash. after waiting the five minutes the car starts fine. what is
the passlock system and what can i do about it?

The theft device light comes on flashing and the car will not start
until it quits flashing, about 10 - 12 minutes. It is an ongoing but
intermittent problem.
Can I disconnect it or work around it somehow?

This is a known problem for 1997 to 2003 and maybe

even 2006. I know of no solution. How could GM
not know about this and do something, too much
marketing and not enough engineering.
