Default H3 Doesn't Start Occasionally

Hello I've had my 2007 H3 Sport Utility for a couple of months now. It drove great at the beginning at about 2 months in started to have an issue with it not turning on. I check the fuel rail and didn't have pressure even when priming the pump so I switch the fuel pump. It ran for 3 days then started getting the issue again. I honestly don't think the fuel pump was the issue but figured it would hurt. If I spray starter fluid it would run for a little then stop. After quite some time of it not starting I would ho back to the H3 and it would start. Not sure what it could be, the check engine light is not on when the H3 does start. Any ideas?

Do you mind elaborating? I saw a couple stuff online just not sure how to address it. Some places mentions GM anti theft and maybe switching the Ignition Switch is enough. Please let me know.

No need to replace the ignition switch! Open a can>>>> CRC QD Electronic Cleaner!
Clean connector & switch contacts, DONE!:

Just literally went through this. Did a thread, post about this...I wanted to share this information so as to make it easier for future individuals looking to fix the AntiTheft (PassLock) error.

The module as a whole is:
D1403G (15795322) AntiTheft Ignition housing w/ module. (Available)

The little black plastic PassLock unit screwed to end:

An update, I've cleaned the contacts and it continued to run for about 3 days. I changed the back part to the ignition switch, did the 3 cycles of 10 minutes to reprogram, and ir has not started. I've jumped back and forward between the old and new back part of the ignition switch and running out of ideas. The passlock symbol appears and doesn't let me start. When I turn the ignition to the on position but not crank it and the passlock light is not on it still doesn't start. If I put some starter fluid it will start for a little then turn off. Any ideas?

CLARIFY your post & STOP using "starter fluid"!

Swap relay #66 with #72 & recheck.

I just swapped them and still didn't start. I did notice one was 0329 and the other 0330. I swapped it with another 0329 relay and didn't start either.
