car dont start

I have a 90 formula 350 firebird. Every time I hit the key to start it it wont crank over. I replaced the ignition switch, starter, and theft deturant relay and still have the same problem. I have power everywhere else, just nothing to the starter. I've been told its the VATS system, but I need to know for sure so I can see about getting it fixed.

i thought the VATS would allow a crank condition but not allow fuel..

correct me if i'm wrong, please..

my friend had the exact same problem with his car, you might want to start at the VATS module, under the dash, pass side by the ECM.. see if you're getting power to it and go from there..
