I was wondering would installing a msd 6a ignition fix the vats problem?

 

No, it won't. What is your problem with VATS?

 

heres the problem i am assumeing its the vats. i will go do some errands come out to the car it won't start, ok figured it was the starter had it tested its fine, next i figured it was the vats. I wait for it to cool down and when my gause gets around 180 it starts, sometimes higher sometimes lower.

 

Not necessarily a VATS issue. Does your security light come on and go out after 2 seconds, stay on, or not come on at all. When you say VATS, I assume you have the pellet in the key, correct.

 

yes i have that thing in the key. i found your message on the override and i am going to do that and install a remote solenide tomorrow should those solve my problem?

 

I can't say because it hasn't really been determined what your problem is. You have told me that you have the pellet in the key, but what is the security light doing. I need more information than what you have given me.

 

security light comes on then goes out maybe like a second or 2

 

If it does that then your problem is not a VATS issue. Check the starter enable relay mounted under the left kick panel. It will have two yellow wires, 1 green wire and 1 green/white wire.

 

check for what? the condition of them?

 

No, the condition of the starter enable relay. With the kick panel off, turn the key to start and see if you can hear the relay click. If it doesn't then it is possible that the relay is bad. You could also have a bad ignition switch. I mentioned the wires so you would be able to identify the relay.

 

the relay clicks. the times i have problems with it are when it has been drive for a while

 

When you have these periods when the car won't start, does the starter click or do anything. Right now, I can say with certainty that VATS is not your problem. Have you looked at anything else, like maybe the pick-up coil, ignition module, ignition coil, distributor cap and rotor. Maybe something that would cause heat soak on the starter?

 

its not the igniiton side, everything has been replaced, i am going to get a remote starter solenoid and use that to get rid of the heat soak
