1992 25th Anniversary Edition. Why won't it start and run?
In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down your fuel injectors in the vehicle. This link explains it pretty well.

1983. Starts fine, but why does it shut off after a few seconds?
As long as it is getting fire and fuel good then check the catalytic converter and muffler one may be plugged. The cat. is ahead of the muffler close to the engine if it is a Chevrolet. In addition, if the o2 sensor is in front of the cat then remove it and see if the car will start. To much back pressure from the exhaust will cause the engine not to draw fuel into the cylinders.
2015. Where is kill swich located and can I remove it?
Kill switch for what ? Chevy's do not have kill switches ! You need to watch what you mess with on new vehicles , you have no idea of the electronics incorporated into your vehicle . You can play with the wiring if you want but mess with the wrong stuff you can render your vehicle useless ! Take it to the dealer !
Pcm removal
Yes, but there could be a short or you could have the wrong/broken alternator installed.
