Hard starting problem.... but easier with remote starter??

[JerzNick]

I tried turning the key on/eng off waiting, then using the remote starter and got the same results.

I meant turn the ignition on and Keep it on, then remote start. This way, both keys are being read at crank time. The immobilizer in GM vehicles is referred to as a "passlock" system. And if activated, it will disrupt the fuel pump from working.

That's what I did. I just said "key on/engine off" because some people refer to that position of the key in the ignition as that.
