Now, when you are sure that it is NOT the cables, or the CPS, a couple of other things that will cause this problem are a worn ignition switch, and a bad PCM.

A PCM is the Powertrain Control Module.... Cheapest Place to get one is the Junk Yard.. But with your Core you should be able to get one with a warranty for $80-$100 iirc

Please read this first:
http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...ic.php?t=73691
It'll help us to help you more efficiently.
The other boxes are not of any concern regarding your problem. You must move the eprom chip that is under the small cover with screws, and move it to the new PCM.

also i had the same issue you are having and just so you know i am on my 3rd computer. i guess no one told you so ill be the first.. the 94-95 bonneville pcm'* were very tricky and most of them go bad.. im on my 3rd pcm in about a year, os far the 3rd one is holding up good...
like jrs3800 does i also like to keep a spair pcm in my trunk if i go on any long trips...
and i dont know if they also told you that when you get the new pcm you will have to open it and open your old one and pull out the lil blue thing insde your old pcm and put it in the new one...
some one will tell you exactly what its called as i cant rember at the monent. sorry..

Yeah If I go up north to WV on a trip home the first thing that goes in the trunk is the Spare PCM complete with a correct EPROM
