It's probably a Vats problem, you can bypass it with a readily available fix, I'm sure someone will chime in. 91's never had a key fob.

As yours is a Vert the only engine they had was the L98 it was the last year of this engine. It's a 350 aluminum head iron block with 245hp and 345 ft lb. Under the console door should be a sticker with three digit RPO codes that represent all the equipment that came on that car out of the factory.
