I bought the car from a friend, it was runnig great till he removed the factory radio and now it dont start the radio said anti thieft on it i know that it needs to be put back in the car, but the radio wasnt working and i want to change it to after market up grand but first i want to reinstall it as it was before
Maybe check the fuses, some fuses might have been blown out when removing the radio.
The problem is most likely the ignition lock cylinder, there are two tiny wires coming out of the cylinder that break over time. You can replace the ignition lock cylinder or you can bypass the system. If you want to bypass the system, use an ohmmeter to find the resistance across the chip in the key. Then go to Radio Shack and purchase a resistor of the same resistance value. Wire this resistor across the two white wires coming out of the steering column under the dash. These white wires are encased in orange insulation where they come out of the column, then break out of the insulation near the connector.

I experienced the exact same problem with mine. What I discovered is that the overdrive torque converter was not disengaging when I was coming up to a stop, thus making it stall. 2 fixes: First one is to disconnect the plug out by the radiator for the converter lock up solenoid, but this is not a good idea as you will no longer have overdrive. Second, (and best): Go to your Ponitac parts dept and tell them your problem; they will sell you a new converter lock-up solenoid that has been updated to correct this problem. Pontiac is aware of this and the new part makes a world of difference. Seems that they have added a small filter to keep dirt out of the solenoid, which is the main cause of the problem. Very common issue; easy to fix.

DO a google search for Radio lock codes with you make model vehicle,, for 7$ you can get it,,here is what I found for a 2000 gp..
1. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 7 seconds until you get 3 digits on your display. This is the first 3 digits you will need, so write them down.
2. Press the AM/FM button to get the last 3 of the 6 numbers you will need. You only have 5 seconds to do this. If you wait too long before pressing the AM/FM button, the display will go back to LOC. If this is the case, just start over at step 1.
3. Call 1-800-537-5140, press 2 for Pontiac, press 620529 and hit the # key. The computerized voice will ask you for your 6 digit code you have written down. Enter that and press the * key. He will then give you your unlock code, and the option to get additional codes. The first one worked for me so do not worry about the additional ones.
4. Set the code into your radio by pressing the hour set button on your radio until it corresponds with the first 2 digits of your code, then press the minute set button until the last 2 digits of your code are entered. Immediately press the AM/FM button once the correct code is entered and the code SEC or "secured" will be displayed. This part of the procedure is outlined in your owners manual.
5. If you want, you can change your code so you will not forget it, or get rid of the theftlock all together. These procedures are outlined in your owners manual, read it if you would like to change these values.
6. turn on the power to your radio and enjoy.
Hints:
- The first 3 and the last 3 digits were the same on my radio. (for example first 3 were 123 and last 3 were 123) First I thought I was doing something wrong when the display wasn't changing, but I wasn't. Just to let you know it is a possibility.
- The dealer code 620529 is an actual dealer. If GM finds out that this code was leaked to the public, they will remove it from their system. If the dealer code does not work when you phone the 1-800 number, you can search for a new dealer code on the internet somewhere. If this does happen, PM me and I will try to find one that works for you.

Once the battery is dead you will not be able to do any of the functions you mentioned. Have someone jump start the car or have the battery recharged. You will be OK after the battery has been charged.
Good luck, let me know.
