I’ve read your communique regarding the “start-when-it-wants-to” problem people are having. I’m having it too with a 1999 Olds Cutlass. It is extremely frustrating. I get in my car 1 hour early for work, just to make sure the car will start so that I can get to work on time. This car’s anti-theft system is linked to the fuel injection!!! I’ve changed the starter, intake manifold, you name it, I’ve probably had it done. I’m considering the Alarmtek by-pass kit for the Passlock II system. However, in the discussion I referenced earlier (2001 Malibu, I think it was – Diane?). Someone in that discussion mentioned sautering the wires together. I would like to communicate with the person that made that suggestion to see how it’s working for him or her, the model/make and year of the car, and exactly which wires.  
  
  
  
 The tow services are going to think I’m crying wolf and aren’t going to show up when the anti-theft system finally dies! HELP!!!
