Ah! That makes more sense. My dad had that issue with his Vette. The key ended up being the problem. The resistor was bad. The pass-key system wouldn't let the car start. The key would turn, lights and stuff would go on, but the engine wouldn't even make an attempt to turn over because the computer didn't recognize the resistor as the right one.

got it back from the chevy stealer, and they said the starter was damaged when they instaled the headers. they replaced the starter, positive batery cable, and the fuseable links. $1000 later, car runs great.

you should put a starter wrap heat shield on your starter now that you have headers. You will keep having problems it is a very inexpensive thing to do trust me you will need one

I mentioned that to the dealer and they said I'll be fine. They said that it wasn't an issue. Nice looking dog by the way.

Trust me it will be an issue my solenoid fell off without it. I had to get the local dealer put a starter on my car years ago I was stuck and getting ready to go to Watkins Glen and I had to take it to them and they installed it and agreed the blanket was a good idea. I just wanted to share with you my experience because the heat from the headers is very close to the starter just cheap insurance.

Thanks on the pooch he is one of 3 in our family he is a rescue along with our other Boxer and Great Dane!
