Co-worker needs a hand, 00 Park ave Ultra

[Dasfinc]

Has been having PATS issues for the past few months (Car occasionally won't start, has nothing wrong with it, intermittent issue)

He's internet savvy and has done some research on his own and found lots of complaints, but no good solutions.

Is there any easy/cheap way to just Flash PATS out of the ECU's of these things? Any resources I can/should point him toward?

does he have the chip thing in his key? Maybe it would just need a good cleaning.

Can try to do a "Case Relearn"

i believe you should be able to tune it out with hpt but i cant verify, never tried to do it myself

the last PA to have the resistor key was the 1996s, that will have the Passkey III system - There's no real way to bypass it without a whole lot of complicated bullshit.. no chips as it's in the head of the key.

I would venture to say it's likely an ignition switch issue.. maybe faulty or loose wiring within the column. That's where I'd start..

I hear this guy is an encyclopedia on all late model cars. Give him a shot.

Joke was already done Fish by KJ, and it looks like an admin deleted it.

Turns out it's dead in the water at the moment, he had said "Passkey 3", and that everywhere he had looked that there was no real way to bypass it without a whole lot of complicated bullshit. Thanks for the tip, I'll pass it along.

Any other input guys? Since it turns out he's dead in the water I'm sure he'd probably happily pay someone to tackle this... He is on the near north side of the city. Evanstonish.

I guess he cant help?

They make bypass kits that you have to use with remote starts.

I saw a 00 ssei stranded prior @ a car meet, very similar situation tried two different set of keys. Something in the ignition tumbler wasn't making contacted and won't start try looking there. You can also find a person with a dph tuner and take out security for starts.

This is what I'm curious about, I don't know the first thing about those tuners, are they a super simple interface? Where could he/should be buy one? etc? Any way to confirm that it can remove the passkey?

 

[slowchevy]

I'm sure it can be done..might wanna ask the guys at pontiacbonnevilleclub or bonnevillepro if no one here knows, they deal with the pk3 shit ad pk2 shit more than anyone else on the net

I have a powrtuner, and it does have the option to turn off the security stuff in the bin file... i have no clue if it actually works though, never had to try it lol.

Replace the PCM.

How does the 'licensing' work for that? Can he borrow your tuner (and/or you) and take a crack at it, or does he need to buy one (or a key) etc?
