Bought a 1991 firebird with a 3.1v6. Well I got to enjoy it for two days and then it bogged down and died on me. When I would try to start it the car would turn over and kinda fire and not stay running. I have tried replacing sensors and I'm currently set further back after trying to bypass my vats system now I can't even get it to turn over. Does anyone happen to know the resistance value on the vats keys? I come from a mechanically inclined family and the shop is not an option would like to do the work myself just basically need some pointers

On my 91 camaro I bypassed the relay for the vats. It was behind the driver'sside kick panel. And once I done that it was fine. As far as the bogging down goes have you tried the ignition module and pick up coil. Just shooting a couple ideas your way bro.
