G.M. has a bulletin for this.

Some customers may comment that the electronic steering column may not function as intended. The condition could result in the failure of the steering column to unlock during initial key-in and start-up. The customer may also comment on a "Pull Key, Wait Ten Seconds" or a "Service Column Lock" message appearing on the Driver Information Center. Should the column fail to unlock, the PCM will disable the fuel to the engine, limiting the vehicle to approximately 3 km/h (2 mph

1997/98 Automatic Install P/N 88952427 Harness Kit, Strg Whl Theft Dtrnt Lk Shorting, 26056108 Nut, Steering Wheel, Cam Orientation Plate

This fix requires taking apart the column and wiring I suggest you have your dealer do it for you.
