Default Stupid Z28

Ok I got the starter tested and the batt is good. So now I think it might be the anti theft system. Is there a way to temp bypass it. I have a 94 Z28 and here is what happend I was driving and the car shutdown: no gages, no power steering, etc. Hasn't crank since. When you try the engine will not turn, the engine is not locked up. So i guess it is the anti theft thing.

I just had a pass theft problem with my 94 Z28. It turned out to be my ignition cylinder or wiring in the column. I'd take your key to a dealer and have them check in on their test machine, if that is good then use a multimeter to check to see what resistance the resistor in your key is and go to radio shack and buy the resistor to make up that value. Here is a link that tells you how to wire in the resisitors. http://vats.likeabigdog.com/ This worked for me and saved me 110.00 in parts alone plus whatever labor if you have the dealer do it. Radio shack cost me about 12.00 for what I bought. It's easy to do. The page also tells you how to completely bypass the theft deterant system although that will take a few more skills to build the circuit. If it's your key resistor you can simply buy another key from the dealer or do this bypass. Good luck.
