Holy cow I need Help! Vats
Heres the deal. 92 z28 was running great. Started up every time. All the sudden sometimes it will not start and the security light pops up. Usually it flashes then disappears. Ive thought it was the starter before I figured out it was the security. Then I thought maybe the tumbler was wore out. I havent done anything yet because I cant pin point the problem. Did a flash test and got a code 46. That would be the vats. After so long do these vats security systens tend to just malfunction. What can be done to fix this killer problem. Ive seen bypassing and chips. Im running in circles and late to work! thanks
