Car Starting Issues
Car Starting Issues
I busted picked up a 91 Camaro RS 5.0 tbi. This is my second 3rd generation car. I had a 87 Iroc-Z a few years ago.
Well first thing I did to the car was had keys made for the car from GM since i purchased the car from an abandoned auto auction. The ignition key made didn't work, so I replaced the ignition with one from oreilly's. Well that came with keys for the ignition with no resistor, so I purchased a #2 key blank and had it cut from a local store.(The GM dealer said the car was originally a #2 VATS car.) Now when I tried to start the car with the new #2 key cut for the new ignition, nothing(Security Light is on and doesn't go off.) I proceed to remove the driver side kick panel and jump the green and yellow wires to each other, now the car spins over. Got to the car to start for a few seconds and noticed the injector was leaking into the motor. replaced it, now it will not start, just spin.
The car did have an aftermarket alarm system on it, but I removed it all and still will not start and the security light is still on.
What should I do?
BTW. I have searched google and read many threads and everything I have tried did not work.

Re: Car Starting Issues
Eliminate VATS. You will be able to use the key you have now and not have to worry about that DYSFUNCTIONAL system GM put in. Take a look at this thread = https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/electronics/703562-vats-gone-using-tuned.html
