can someone explain VATS

I have an 84 TA which I put an 87 TPI unit on.

Thing used to run until I started messin with chip burning now it wont start.

I have spark and fuel pressure but it wont fire it wont even sputter or pop
it does exactly nothing yet it ran fine before I messed with the chip.

I put the ABWN memcal back in and it still wont do nothin.

COULD THIS BE VATS RELATED?

How can I verify if VATS is disabled? Does VATSeven have anything to do with my set up since it is not factory?

thanks

Jeff

Re: can someone explain VATS

if your the ecm is 87 (same as the TPI your using) then it's not VATS.

VATS was not in existnece in 87

Sounds like a bad burn. You might have a 256 chip, in which case you need to stack the bin or burn from the right address. I ran into the same issue on my 86. Check the chip and see if its a 128 or 256.

Thats an 87 code, there was no VATS in the 87 code.
