Ok, so a friend of mine is having a problem starting her 01 Alero...
I'm not anywhere nearby so I can't go help and see the car myself, so I'm going off what she tells me...
it was trying to turn over, but was not starting.
Apparently they towed it to a shop, who gave her an invoice that said...
"intermittant failure in passlock sensor. Remove/replace and relearn theft deterrent. Clear codes and reset"
they also want to charge her $600
been doing some searching, and think it might be a Passlock issue, where either the resistor in the key is bad or the ignition cylinder is bad :dunno
any other ideas? like I said, it's hard to diagnose, because I'm nowhere nearby... this is all going by what she says
thanks
