I think it may be your starter shorting out.If It is bad it will short out and you will lose fire to all. Good luck with it.

I have something to state: I've asked How to bypass the Anti Theft system in my car. The responses I am receiving are becoming rude. I'm not trying to steal my own car. The car doesn't start anymore. It almost turns over but doesn't stay start. Instead of having to replace the Fuel Pump I was trying to reset the Anti Theft System. I asked how to by pass the system and am being accused of trying to steal cars. If I had the money to take it to the dealer, I would!!! I can't seem to reset it if that is why it is not starting. So ya thanks for judgments!?m 9 Answers

I wanted to by pass / reset the Anti Theft System to see if it would start, before I have to replace the Fuel Pump. All I have received is snide comments and accusations of stealing cars.
