Re: 92 firebird

(I know this is an old thread and I figured its already solved)

But if its security then it would be the Vats system either the ignition cylinder or the vats module (or fuse for vats) could also be a worn key aswell.

Easy fix after checking would most likely be just bypassing the VATS system with a resistor, you need to measure the resistance value from the resistor pellet in your key, then get a resisitor to match and put it across the two VATS wires under the steering column which are two thin wires usually in a orange wire loom. (not to be confused with the yellow SRS wires).
