Does not sound like the VATS if the VATS went off you would know it because your starter would not crank and your security light would stay on

Do you hear your fuel pump prime when you first put the key to the on position? If not it could be your fuelpump since you are getting spark.

AND STOPS I FOUND THE TACK WIRE GROUNDED TO METAL AFTER MY IGN.COIL MELTED MAYBE THAT FRIED THE ECM AFTER I CHANGED THE COIL AND IGN.MOD THE CAR RAN GOOD ABOUT 15 MIN. THAN I TURNED IT OFF AND LET IT SIT ABOUT A HOUR THAN I STARTED IT IT HAD A BAD MISSFIRE AN THAN IT DIDNOT START AGIAN

how does your car have a crank positon sensor i know our olds used to have one but my 3.1 does not have one it has a scale. a crank position sensor should be used on DIS cars i believe.

I was going to suggest the same.

Although I doubt it will do much. It should either run or not run if it's the timing... Or at least run ****ty, but consistently the same still... Not "every once in awhile" like it does.
