Yes, that is VATS. I screwed with that for 3 weeks during my swap.

Solution #1. Get VATS programmed out of the ECM.

Solution #2. Replace VATS module with brand new module from GM. New module will "learn" key resistor value the first time it is tried.

Solution #3. Get VATS bypass module off Ebay.




**Edit - I just saw where you said it ran good for a week. It could still possibly be VATS, but I would check for spark and fuel first and see what you turn up.
