I encountered a problem a month ago and have not been able to start my
'95 vette since. I've cleaned the key, checked the shifter in park,
no flashing security light, all other power works, but the car will
not start and is not getting spark. I suspect my security system and
believe it is not resetting. Any ideas.

I'm going to guess here until someone more knowledgable replies.
Sometimes strange electronic failures can be "cured" by disconnecting the
battery overnight and letting things "reboot".

This sort of reminds me of the days back in the 60s when I had an XKE Jag --
and its horrible Lucas electrics. But, even then, things were simpler. My
favorite of all times was a friend's 57 Vette with 2 4bbls back in those
great 50s days.

I assume if you can determine it's not getting spark then it will crank
over.. If so...
I am in the middle of the exact same thing. Check my posts for the info
I'm coming up with.

First Pull the codes.
Jump terminals 4 & 12 with a paper clip (with the key off, then turn key on,
connector under dash to the right of the steering column)

See what code you get, then re-post with code(s).
