Default Help! SYS No start

After starting her up and driving for a short time the "service ASR" light comes on and the security light and SYS flashes, If I turn off the ignition, it will not re-start. A couple of times I left the car then returned, and it would fire right up. Other times the security light and SYS would stop flashing but the ASR light remains on, but I turn off the car and it will start right away. ant thoughts???

It could be the security code on the key and or the ignition switch.

My wife's firebird had the same problem.

The SYS light came on so there are stored error codes. What are they?

The SYS light may be caused by a bad battery.When was the last time it was changed?What voltage is the gauge reading at idle?Either way it is an electrical issue.

Check the battery, security chip in the key, MAF and any fusible links from the MAF to the ECM.
