Might try resetting the fuel shut off switch...someone could have bumped the car from behind and that can shut off the fuel pump. There is an emergency fuel shut off switch and you need to reset it after any rear end collision or bump. It's the first thing I would check.

I guess someone could`ve hit me from behind, from over the fence I was backed up against, should`ve checked that out...
The rides in the shop, they`ll figure it out, I`ll drive Turbonium I...
(Turbonium II gets released late summer).

Just got home, not happy.
Dealer I went to, said it started right-up when they first tried it this morning...
Told him to do a diagnostic... nothing.
Says it`s the aftermarket alarm system shuting it down, and since they (this dealer) didn`t install it, I`d have to pay for the service check, and get reinburst by the original dealer... So now I`ve got to take to my installing dealer.
Got it home ok, just told/advised not to use autostart until issues resolved.

Seems service visits are often a two step process. Took 'em two tries to diagnose and repair that leaking thermostat housing on mine when brand new.

B/B, does this mean you are looking at an SS too?? I saw your member icon change to the SS.

Sounds like what mine did before I could drive it off the lot. It ended up being the Oxygen sensor.

Oh nooo...my Blazer did the exact same thing and I wound up trading it in because the "installer" of the alarm system completely fubar'd the wiring harness and BCM. Chevrolet wouldn't cover it because the modification voided the warranty on those parts, and the installer wouldn't cover it because it never had a problem when they were trying to diagnose it.

Lesson learned. Don't screw around with anything related to factory security or the ignition system. Better off with a lower insurance deductible and unlocked doors at that point.
