The security light comes on or stays on when the module does not "see" the correct chip in the key.
Normally the system only works when you crank the engine, not after it is running. So if the light is coming on after the engine is running, and the engine also quits, I would look for an electrical problem with the key switch or the computer.

Start with fuel system. Listen for fuel pump humm at fuel tank No humm check wiring to pump for power. Then check for spark at plugs and wires. Remove wire from coil and hold near engine and see arch when you crank. No arch. Replace ignition Modular inside distributor cap or cap or rotor

How do I remove the rear bumper on a 1998 Chevy Express van 1500?

Support the bumper with a jack, disconnect any electrical wires to license plate light, then loosen and remove the bolts that hold the bumper to the frame. Slowly back the jack up and lower it so the bumper can now rest on the floor.

Truck would not start, installed fuel pump truck starts and now has misfire, engine light comes on shows p0300, cylinders 5678 not firing chevy 1500 express van 2001

You may want to check your wires. I would also recommend to check for 6-12V w/ DIGITAL multimeter@ TPL and Idling sensor, right under intake manifold. If you have questions let me know I don't have the schematics for the connector w/me right know, but can e-mail them to you if you still have the problem. I had a similar problem as well.
