Drove fine the night before but wouldn't start the next morning. It will turn over but just won't fire. Anti-theft and check engine lights flash while cranking but no other dash lights stay on after trying. Fuel Pump or Passlock?
Check the main relay and fuse.
Hope this helps.
Fuel sending unit and filter

To replace the fuel sending unit your looking at $400-$500 in shop. And yes the tank would have to be dropped
Thanks. You were spot on. At the shop now. $453.15.

If it is a pass lock system just turn the key to the on position, but do not start the engine and wait 10 minutes until the light stops flashing. Then turn it off and restart it. It should go away. If the light is not flashing in the first place then I don't know.

My 2000 cavalier has done this for 6 months. You take your key out then open your door, wait ten minutes and the system resets itself and the car will start-annoying you bet!!!

try to start the car, than the anti theift would shut the car off. you wait ten min with the key on, until you see the anti theift flash or disapear. than turn key to off position and try to start it. this will reprogram the computer.. Good luck.
you can also try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes

http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/ Go to that link. You are exactly right. The engine swap has confused the anti theft security system. It can disable the starter and/or the injectors/fuel. There are ways to bypass these systems. You can do it yourself too. Ive personally done dozens of these bypasses, and they work great. Good luck

The anti-theft doesn't stay on but I tried all the key on for ten minuted off for 5 seconds back on for 10 tricks. Did smell gas in the cabin while driving very briefly the previous evening. But it did start and drive for a short trip in between.
also already disconnected the battery for 30 minutes
