You may wanna try this: > "Set the ignition key switch to accessory--the electronics are ON in the car; then remove the negative terminal from the car battery for a few minutes. Then, turn the key to OFF and hook up the battery." < Above quote and source at >>
GM doesn't have anything on that car that would prevent it from starting just because you swapped the battery.
Does it have an aftermarket alarm/anti-theft system?
Do you get a flashing "security" light when you attempt to start it?
