1998 cavalier , starting issues
#11
Sorry I did replace idle air control valve , forgot to list it but I did take it out and thoroughly clean the valve and the seat , after 3 or 4 times it did start decided to drive it around the block , when I got down the street several warning lights were lit up , like the abs, brake lights, ets , theft system , trac control those were the main one'* I did notice car didn't die or anything ran fine, was just curious since I've been doing so much research on this issue alot of pass lock articles mainly , is the gauge cluster tied in with the pass lock after the ignition lock cylinder? would the cluster or could it be tied in with the car not starting right away ? Thanks

Passlock is only designed to prevent starting of the engine. On 96 and newer platforms, it disables the starter. 95 and older, it disables the injectors. If there was an issue with the Passlock module, it would still start and run, but show the security light. Passlock is also not setup to shut the engine off once it is started. You have some sort of fueling/air/spark/ignition issue possibly an electrical/battery issue.

Problem found , replaced the ignition switch now the car starts everytime , apparently after all this it was faulty , but the car does run great after all replacement parts but one last issue the instrument cluster , tach and temp gauge are acting up along with the warning lights coming on and off guessing that will need replaced will have to see if I can locate a replacement for that Thanks for all the advice

car has been running great, far as the instrument cluster haven't had a chance to pull it yet there has been one thing i'm curious about you can here a click noise behind the cluster would there be any type of relay behind it ? also would it be connected to the radio in any way, because time to time the radio will like for a second just cut off and come back on, has never done this prior to acting up Thanks
