Hey guys, I have a 98 Chevy k1500 z71. The problem I am having is that every once and a while my truck takes a while to start. When I put the key in and turn, the engine turns over, starts up, then immediately turns off. The security light blinks 5 times. This continues for anywhere from 10min to 45min. Then out of the blue the trucks starts and doesn't happen again for nearly a week. Here is what I know, I have checked fuses, disconnecting the battery, leaving key in for 5+ min, none help. Problem didn't happen until I had the ignition re keyed because the key had worn out. After doing some research I came to the conclusion that it could be the Pass lock? so I had the Chevy dealer replace it and they said that they had no idea what was going on, since it didn't happen while the truck was there. Here is a video of what is going on, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqyrPGVU2l4 . This happen this afternoon, and now the truck WILL NOT START. If anyone can please give me guidence that would be awesome. Thanks so much for the time.

If I recall that generation truck had a program to tell you what was going on in situations like this. I don't remember what the blink counts meant now. I worked on a similar '94 that was having issues and remember we read his manual & was able to narrow down what the problems were. Do you still have the original manual? Also you said you had the ignition rekeyed, did everything get hooked back up tightly. I'd ensure all the connectors are making good contact. Something might be shaking around & losing contact from time to time. Best I can think of right off hand.
