Re: Help!!!!!!

sounds like a bad ignition cylinder causing the vats module not to be able to read the pelet on the key. clean the pelet on the key with alchol and if this doesnt work you either have toi replace the ignition cylinder or have the vats tuned out of the pcm

Re: Help!!!!!!

then it sounds like there is a problem with your vats module. if it threw the security light again. if this is the case i would just pay someone like madz28.com to tune it our of your pcm and never worry about it again. it will be much cheaper to do that than to buy a new vats module
