Car just started having starting problems. Had it towed to mechanic, he replaced the spark plugs. Didn't think it would help; ran a few weeks fine, then the same problem. Car turns over but doesn't catch. Any ideas?

When this happens is the security light on solid or flashing while trying to start it?

Sorry for the delay in answering you; the mechanic told me it was the fuel pump.
Anyway the light is on solid. I checked the gas cap but it was on correctly.

I was asking if the security light was on not the check engine light?The check engine light will be if the engine isn't running.

The security light is on for about 5 seconds while the engine is cranking. Last year I replaced ignition switch because the security codes were old.

The ignition switch doesn't have a pass lock sensor the ignition housing the key cylinder goes in has the pass lock sensor. What about the with the key in the run position is the security light on solid or flashing?
