    i have an 02 alero, no codes, intermittant crank no start with a faster crank when it wont start, i too replaced the crank position sensor and it was fine for about 6 months. Now its not starting again. Did replacing cam position sensor and ignition control module work? I am loathe to put more money into this lemon of a car!

SOURCE: security light flashes

from what i have read, it is design to cut the gas supply so no one can still your car. Mine car wouldn't crank at all with the light blinking. turn the key to the on position and wait 10 minutes. turn it off and try to crank it. it has worked every time on mine. I have also read to cut the LITTLE yellow wire that runs from ignition,but i don't feel comfortable cutting wires even though you can always reattch the wire.

My 2003 oldsmobile alero want crank, it was running hot and it just cut off on me now it want start only turns over.

This may be related to the antitheft system The system is known for turning off the starter and/or injectors when it fails. Is there a light on the dash that says SECURITY? This is a common problem worth looking into.

Car wont crank

My 2003 Oldsmobile alero does this on occasion. Turn the key over just to the on position, not the acc (all the way) position. You will see the security light blinking during this time. After ten minutes, the light will stop flashing and you can now turn the key OFF and then crank the car. It's annoying but so simple.

Oldsmoble Alero ignition security problem

It doesn't have to be the security. a dead battery won't let the car crank either. With a security problem the car will crank but not start. The security can be reset if the battery is charged and up. Turn the key on ( do'nt crank ) the security light will stay on if it needs to be reset. If it remains on leave the key on for 15 minutes around then it will go out. turn the key off and then turn it right back on, the security light will be on again. Leave the key on till the light goes out again, then turn it off then turn it back on , wait again when it goes out turnthe key off then right back on then crank the engine and it should start. With a scanner the code will be security neweds to be reset. Thia is all anyone can do to reset the security and it's what you were charged $450 for. Following directions.
