V.a.t.s.

Anyone every had a problem with VATS interfering with how the car runs? Or starting? I had to wait 4 minutes or longer after shutting off my engine to get it to restart. After disabling VATS, the problem went away.

I am having a VATS problem right now. My question to you is this: what type of resistor(s) did you use? I have tried several times by linking various resistors and can never get the perfect resistance--i.e. off by 50 ohms or so--thus I am assuming that is why the damn bypass doesn't work.

Please give me an insight if you can.

I disabled it by putting in a chip from a 1987 350 TPI car, they didn't have VATS in 87. So, problem solved. My custom chip will eliminate it altogether. I hope this helps.
