Engine Fuel Cut-off- "Remove Key, Wait 10 Seconds"
So this has happened to me twice after start up. And both times within only a few minutes of having shut off the car. This last time (today), I went to the post office, parked and shut off the car, went in to get my mail, came back out and started it up. Put it in reverse to back out of the parking spot and it dies. Started it up again, put in reverse and dies again. Notice message "Remove Key, Wait Ten Seconds" so I did then started it up and it stayed running.
Not sure what I'm doing (or not doing) to cause this to happen. Pretty aggravating (and scary) when backing out in to an opening in traffic then the car dies and I have to sit there for 10 seconds before I can start it again.
Anybody else ever had this issue?

LMC5 didn’t work for me even with the brown wire mod. The car already had the factory steering lock recall and I replaced the ignition switch because the keys were so worn that I could pull it out while the car was running. Battery was also new. I ended up having the fuel cut off reprogrammed to 199mph by a tuner. The factory cutoff is set to 5mph. This is why yours moves a few feet then cuts off. I still get the pull key message probably every other start, but the car will keep running. The tuner said he fixed several that had the same issue with no other fix found (including the LMC5). Probably the best $50 I will ever spend on my 98.

Mine's been doing great with the LMC5 and brown wire mod, then I killed the battery last week (bounced back though) and since then it's been doing the same. . . but mine's tuned out as well. Still annoying to clear that message every time, I'd just as soon tell the BCM to ignore it if I could.

Any tuner shop should be able to do it. It’s just a computer thing. I gave them the keys and about 30 min later they said go around back to get my car. There was a guy in the seat closing his laptop and he said problem was fixed.
