Unless you are using the computer from a car that originally had VATS I wouldn't worry about it. If you are using the computer from a car that had the VATS then you will also need the VATS control module and the starter enable relay as well.

I already have a custom chip from tpis and i dont want to pay 75.00 plus shipping for a reprogram. The engine turns over just the injecters dont pulse. So i was thinking if i got the vats module and wired in the resitor it would work. I need one of those modules and how to wire it.
