If that's not it, then the Passlock system maybe.
If Passlock system, then you have to watch the
instrument panel and wait 10 minutes with the
key on, motor off, until the 'Theft System' red
light stops blinking and goes off.

I have a 2002 Malibu thats starts intermittently, had battery,
alternator, and starter. All checked out fine. when the car doesn’t
start, I get it jumped and it’ll start up for a couple a days and cuts
off. Whats the problem? and How much would it cost to get fix?
