I appreciate the link. I've been looking at the different manuals and I'm a little confused about which one applies to the . On another note, I found a module (New Rockies) that claims to permanently fix all VATS issues. It uses a universal module with adjustable dip switches and different installation instructions for specific vehicles. The website looks a little like an "as seen on TV ad", but I was able to find several installation videos on YouTube with lots of positive comments. They claim to have a 30 return policy with a lifetime replacement warranty. It's $300, but could be money well spent if it permanently fixes it.Charles, Thanks for the update! Because of the "clutter" and no ability to easily and correctly search these forums it may be better to stay on this thead. Only start a new one if you resolve problem and create a sticky or Troubleshooting help post.
From what I have seen on VATS, the dash light flashing on momentarily and going out is the correct operation if theft is not active. Light would stay on if active. A Tech2 or similar hi end scanner would verify a theft shutdown or correct operation with the corresponding codes. Where do you live? several members here have Tech2's willing to help.
There is little info available for the internal workings of this system and UTube wont likely post "How to steal a Chevy".
There are 10+ posts here unsolved on no start similar to you.
I recommend you do some more diagnostics to "prove" this is your issue. Unplug the big connector on top of intake for F/I harness and verify pin connections were good/deep. Also noid light tests here- you can use a 194 bulb for a noid lite. The VATS injector shutdown shuts off the ground inside computer. So a bad engine/computer ground could be your cause, with some grounds under dash.
The factory manual is a big help here. Go here- you have to join to download-GMT400 CK Manual Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network
