In this paper we study the positive solutions to the
 $n\times n$
 $p$
-Laplacian system:
 $\begin{equation*}\begin{cases}-\left(\varphi_{p_1}(u_1')\right)' = \lambda h_1(t) \left(u_1^{p_1-1-\alpha_1}+f_1(u_2)\right),\quad t\in (0,1),\\-\left(\varphi_{p_2}(u_2')\right)' = \lambda h_2(t) \left(u_2^{p_2-1-\alpha_2}+f_2(u_3)\right),\quad t\in (0,1),\\\quad\quad\quad\vdots\qquad\,\: =\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \vdots\\-\left(\varphi_{p_n}(u_n')\right)' = \lambda h_n(t) \left(u_n^{p_n-1-\alpha_n}+f_n(u_1)\right),~~\, t\in (0,1),\\\quad\,\,\,\, u_j(0)=0=u_j(1); ~~ j=1,2,\dots,n, \\ \end{cases}\end{equation*}$
where
 $\lambda$
is a positive parameter,
 $p_j>1$
,
 $\alpha_j\in(0,p_j-1)$
,
 $\varphi_{p_j}(w)=|w|^{p_j-2}w$
, and
 $h_j \in C((0,1),(0, \infty))\cap L^1((0,1),(0,\infty))$
for
 $j=1,2,\dots,n$
. Here
 $f_j:[0,\infty)\rightarrow[0,\infty)$
,
 $j=1,2,\dots,n$
are nontrivial nondecreasing continuous functions with
 $f_j(0)=0$
and satisfy a combined sublinear condition at infinity. We discuss here a bifurcation result, an existence result for
 $\lambda>0$
, and a multiplicity result for a certain range of
 $\lambda$
. We establish our results through the method of sub-super solutions.
