    . Depending on the year, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) often solves the problem.

    . If the problem persists, try to determine if the security system is the culprit.

    It sounds like your car's security system is preventing it from continuing to run. It thinks it is being stolen. We've had a number of similar situations, with 2001 Grand Ams, at AMHD. You will likely need to get it to the dealer, since they're the only ones who can solve these type of problems.

    Does the security light flash when this happens? If so, you have the dreaded GM PassLock failure. See the post below for how to fix it.
