Damn Sam,
Well it sounds to me if the red light is blinking fast, you DO have a problem with your PAT System. I cant totally remember but I never thought mine had a fast blink in the past. But of course in the past it had always fired up on the first or second turn of the starter. I do Apologize for taking so long but for one I get frustrated with it, and rather than beat the crap out of the car I walk away. As of now I have given up trying to figure out of I can take this wire and put it to another to bypass it. Most people get a chip anyway. Now if I send my chip away and they can not do anything with it then, I will be forced to start butchering my PATS wiring system. My friend that was working on my car for me told me he worked on a caddilac one time that had the same problem, and all he had to do was put a paperclip in the right spot. I guess if you work on GM Crap its easy to fix it with crap. Well Sam all I can say is I will send my chip away and when I get it back cross my fingers and hope it works. If it does I will post the name and phone of the place that hooked it up for me. Till then dont lose faith in your MYSTIQUE!
