Default 1997 Camaro Z28 wont crank

My 1997 Z28 wont crank. I just started out of nowhere. When i turn the ignition all lights come on. The security light on the dash flashes. I have tested the starter. It is good. Does anyone have any suggestions


Thank You,


Steve

Are you running an LT1 or LS1? you have a 97 but posted in the 98+ section

If the security light flashes the car won't start. Most likely the security system is not recognizing the resitor on the key. Could be that the resistor went bad, the contacts in the ignition switch are not making with the chip, wiring problems, bad BCM. Start by using your spare key.
