if it were vats it wouldn't run. assuming you are using the cars original starter signal wire it will turn the car over. if the vats were the problem you wouldn't be getting fuel and spark.

my car will not idle either but its cause its not tuned yet. but my cam is a 245/253 @ .050 yet i didn't see it written that the OP had swapped cams. its just a bolt on car? i have had failry large cam in a stock bottom end car that ran and idled fine on a stock tune. need to get a scanner from someone so we can see what the code is all about.
