This first occurred 2 years ago and happened about 6 months apart. The engine would turnover then immediately die. Would try several times with no luck. finally let it sit for a couple of hours and then it would start. It started becoming more frequent - as often as once a week.
First they had us replace the fuel pump. Then the wiring harness to the ignition. Then just recently replaced two parts that have to do with the pass lock system. I'm hoping this last fix is it. It is getting expensive to have something that is so unreliable.
We were finally able to get error codes because my check engine light had come on due to the catalytic converter going out - so the codes stayed in the system.
I had the vehicle in the shop numerous times but it would never repeat it for them and they weren't initially getting any error codes on it.

only a certain mornings vehicle would not run, could try again a few hours later and it would run. Problem very hard to find even for the dealership because of high number of possibilities

This problem has really upset my life. I have had it in the shop for this problem probably 20 times and no one has been able to help me. Every time I want to use it, this problem seems to happen.

This is a follow up on the post I made on January 22, 2008 about my vehicle not starting. I had indicated that Chevrolet had replaced 2 parts that had to do with the Pass lock system and I was hoping that that had fixed it.
I'm happy to report that it did fix it.
They replaced FP# 26049449, case asm 2.188 ($200.45) and FP# 16264955 Module 2.195 ($170.10), there was an additional $304.00 in labor charges.
