Welcome to CamaroZ28.com. Usually not a lot of tech help in the "New Member Intro" forum.

I'll move this thread to "LT1 Based Engine Tech" for you.

Sounds like you may have a problem with the ignition switch. When you say "no lights on the dash" do you mean you do not get all the warning lights coming on for a few seconds when you turn the key to "RUN", like you would normally get?

 

theres lights on the dash when you turn the key on but will not crank nothing when you turn key all the way got new battery new starter new key and ingnition switch it will run for a sec when you jump across starter but dies

 

turn the key and nothing lights are on the dash radio works jumped across starter and will crank and run for a sec and die put new starter new battery new ignition switch

 

Does a security light flash on the dash?

 

jays144 - Please keep responses responses in a single thread. I'll merge this response (post #6) with your existing thread.

 

The PASS-Key (VATS) system includes a starter enable relay that has to engage to crank the starter. That relay gets its ground from the PASS-Key decoder module.

Starting schematic - 1993:

In later years, the relay is called the Theft Deterrent Relay (TDR). The decoder module is called the Theft Deterrent Module (TDM).

You may have a faulty TDR (also called “starter enable relay" on a 1993).

no lights flashing on dash

 

no flashing lights on dash you turn key and nothing lights work horns and radio new battery

 

The security light should come on, then go out after a second or two. I would start by checking all of your fuses if you are seeing no lights what so ever on the dash. If all of the fuses are good, it sounds like the ignition switch.

 

new ignition switch key all lights on then go over turn the key nothing you can jump across starter and it will turn over but wont start

 

Did you change the switch on the top of the column under the dash, or the cylinder? It sounds like the cylinder; I would try the switch under the dash.
