I have a 1994 z28 camaro..got in my car this morning and turned the key AND NOTHING HAPPENED..Never had problems before..always starts right up...I DID HAVE FULL BATTERY POWER...new battery,all the lights come on and everything else works...makes no sound when i try to start as if it was dead..MY SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES WHEN I TRY TO START CAR & WHEN KEY IS TURNED IN THE IGNITION...thought it my be my starter at 1st but i hope not...i have read on the internet today about a possible VATS problem...all fuses and look good..cleaned off my keys..the damn car was running fine last night..HELP!!!

 

I really do not know a whole lot about VATS and all that jazz... disconnect the battery for 5 minutes and hook it up again.... then try to start. Should clear any gremlins

 

possibly have a broken wire in the column up my the ignition cylinder, 2 wires run from the base of the column up to the ignition cylinder for the vats. Tey are usually wrapped in a orange sleeve and there should be 2 white wires inside, easy way to tell is check for resistance across the connector at the base of the column, or remove the steering wheel/turn sig switch and look for the broken wires right near the cylinder itself.

 

after taking the battery out and putting it back in. if that dont work with the battery in cycle the key about 15 times on off on off.

 

wont do any good if those wires are broken

 

Lock the door, and then open the door with the KEY (not the remote opener) and put your key in the ignition and try to start it.

VATS tweaks out on 94s at times, my old 94 T/A did the same thing and that's what fixed it when it tweaked.

If that don't work try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes and trying again.

 

even my boss's brand new minivan will do the same thing. door has to be opened by key or else it has to be both opened and started by remote. weird...

 

The security feature on most vehicles is equipped to one key a lot of times if you use a different key the car will not start even if you disconnect the battery, lock and unlock the doors and anything else that makes you feel like it helped out, I'm not very familiar with a 94 camaros security feature but this might be the problem. If you have another key try it out, maybe it will work out for you. A lot of people make this mistake and do not even realize it. If you have a chip in your key this is most likely to be your problem, broken wires, bad pcm's and a few other things tend to happen but most times this is the problem.
