Anti-theft blockage and starting problems
Chevrolet Cavalier 1998 155000 miles
I own a Chevalier 98 2.2 engine. In the morning and at night, when it is really cold outside, the anti-theft is blocked and it takes long to start. When you finally do, only the check gages turns on and the fuel and temperature needles stay half of their way. After a while, the dashboard lights turn on and the theft system starts flickering. When cold outside it takes up to 15 minutes for the engine to start, while during the day the car has no driving failures.

Chevrolet Cavalier 2002 Manual, 2.2 180000 miles
I have a 2002 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 liter engine. Manual transmission. I recently had to punch out my ignition and use a push button to start my car. The other day someone tried to steal my car and punched out the entire ignition and pulled the wire harness for the yellow, white and black wires that run to the ignition. Now my car won’t start and the Anti Theft (solid) has been engaged and my car won’t start at all. Someone pls helllllppp me.
