A friend of mine has a '97 Caddie that is essentially defunct. When he tries to start it the engine turns over but won't start. A light tells him that the vehicle anti-theft system is preventing it. The car has been down for over a week.
(Aside: The poor guy is recovering from cancer treatments and has no capacity to deal with this kind of nonsense. He's had Cadillac service people involved and they are unable to help. I think we all understand that some excellent mechanics sometimes come up blank when dealing with electronic issues.)
I'm wondering if anyone on this board has dealt with, and defeated, this type of problem. A look on-line discloses that it's not all that rare with GM systems. If you've experienced this, I would highly appreciate hearing from you with a description of any steps you took which solved the problem.
Thanks in advance friends.
