We have a 7/99 GMC Jimmy in and it acts like a fuel cut off switch has popped. it cranks but no bueno. I can press the deactivate button on the alarm pad and the flashing "security" lights stops blinking. Any ideas?

There is no reset switch for the fuel pump in this vehicle according to the stuff I am finding. There is a relay located in the power distribution box under the hood. You will need to test that, if it is working then the problem, assuming it is the fuel pump not powering up, is most likely the fuel pump itself. From what I am seeing these vehicles have a history of fuel pump problems from the Anti Rollover cutoff and accident safety switch built into the pump itself.

Key stuck 99 jimmy

could be the switch in the shifter, also think there is a actuator on the column that the switch controls,if you look under the ignition on the plastic housing you will see a little round pop out that has a brass button you can push to get the key to go back.

Could be a slow IAC motor when cold.Try holding your foot down 1/4 of an inch when cold starting,if it starts quickly,then it is most likely is a gummed up/defective idle air control motor.I would like to see the engine coolant temperature sensor readings also.

99 GMC sonoma will start with starting fluid then

The 99 GMC, when it acts up, check whether it has fuel and/or spark. It could be related to fuel pressure, available electrical power, ignition component/s.

the fuel pressure if leaking could cause this the regulator is located under the intake plenum but you should smell gas .if you dont then most likely the pump is bad ,the pump will come on for 2 seconds when the key is on then go off it will not stay on with just the key on only when you crank it will it .so have your fuel pressure checked with a gauge.
