VATS enabled car still starts

I tried enabling VATS no my non equiped vats 86 camaro to see if the car would start and it did. I am using the 730 ecm and though by enabling vats in the chip it would not start.

I tested it out today through ostrich (how easy no more chips) and the car started was abit surprised as I was lead to believe it would not start.

There are 2 vats bits in 8D.
One is the status or something.
The other one will cause zero fuel if it's enabled.
But in your case it will crank----forever...

So I can leave it enabled and it will run is that what you are saying. The only reason why I found this interesting was that when I went through the swap to MAP a lot of people said and I read that you have to disable VATS as it will not start.

So I ended up testing it out today because when I first completed the conversion I took it out. I wanted something to test to see if the Emulation on Ostrich works so I thought I might try and enable VATS and see if it works

Next time I get a chance I might try fuel cut off at a low value and see if all is good with ostrich.

I had the opposite problem---no pw.

I turned it off long ago and never looked at it again.
I went and looked at it finally.
One bit is to turn it off/on
The other is to turn the error code 46 on/off.
You just changed the code 46 one IB.
Same thing I did. But I turned it off so I didn't get a code.
Chased my tail for a while.


Code:
L8016:        .byte   0x10    ; AFR OPTION WORD 1         0001 0100
                              ; DRef: 0xD8B6,0xD936,0xB35D,0xCF3E,0xD03C,0xE140

                              ; b6, 1 = USE A/D BATT FOR INJ Lk Up, (else use PUMP VDC)
                              ; b5, 1 = OPEN LOOP PURGE
                              ; b4 ,1 = ENABLE VATS
                              ;
                              ; b3, 1 = LET LOW TPS DISABLE CCP
                              ; b2, 1 = 4TH GEAR SWITCH N.O.
                              ; b1, 1 = 16 Hz CCP SOLENIOD IN USE
                              ; b0, 1 = RPM FOR TCC vs MPH

Z69 hmm, I actually did set B4 to enable.

I looked at the error code and I still have B1-46 enabled which I can basically disable as a VATS code will never come up anyway.

So if I have both of these ticked I have enabled VATS and also it's error code. But having it like this car still starts. Maybe I just don't understand your post.
