Anyone preferably with experience, want to bypass my VATS system for me? The car will be located in Roseville MI for the weekend. I do not want to tackle this project. Please let me know how much, and when you can do it (PREFERABLY FRIDAY or SATURDAY)
Thanks, Tony
Please also pm me a phone number where you can be reached

The Problem
I turn the key and I get no start, I wait 4 minutes and repeat this procedure until it eventually starts.

PS, is it possible to fix this problem with a PCM reprogram, or do the wires have to be cut?

 

a tune can disable the vats.

 

Try a new key?

 

thats true the key could be worn down and not working. but you would be able to see those two slots worn down in that case, and wiggling the key would sometimes make them work in that case.

 

still need to bypass the TDR so it will crank

 

You need a new ignition cylinder.

 

cant you just cut the 2 wires going to the cylinder and add in the appropriate resistor?

 

yes

 

I had the same problem when the car was new, I believe they replaced the cylinder. They said the ground in there wore out. It was fixed under waranty. Just take it to the dealer.
