Exclamation 93 z28 won't start, vats may be down??

I bought the car recently and the vats had been bypassed, car barely runs at startup, takes about 5mins to run right, now car won't start at all, battery full of charge, nothing happens when you crank the ignition, dead everything, i took pics of the underdash, hopefully i can figure out how to post them. Is it the ignition switch or something all together different. thanks.

It sounds like its battery related. If the car was running fine and then didn't start it could be vats but your describing an electrical issue. Start by checking your battery to be sure its charged and has good cranking amps. It could be a ground wire is not making good contact. Clean the battery at the connections. Alternator is also another option causing your problem. If you fuel pump went out the car would not start also.

but if it was fuel pump it would at least crank right??

It won't hit a lick, no lights, no nothing. I'll go hook it up again on battery with jumper cables and see what i can accomplish. thanks,
