Hello
Thanks for the donation.

Your problems are because of your vehicle's anti-theft system called the VATS theft system. There is a little button on your ignition key. If there is dirt on key or inside the igniton switch the VATS system "thinks" someone is trying to to steal your vehicle. It resets after the three minutes of waiting. Try spraying some contact cleaner on the key and into the igntion key hole. You can also use WD-40, although contact cleaner is recommended. This should solve your problem.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for using 2carpros. Com!
