also) and when I unplug the code reader
relay's click and nothing

Check the security system, it maybe in full active mode. Dis arm procedures listed in the owners manual. Other things could be wiring issues causing voltage drop outs, mistake reassembling the engine.

Also check the engine ground straps. There's usually one going from each head to the firewall on a GM. Hope that helps! Jim
