Default VATS BYPASSED TODAY

I just got through bypassing the vats system in my 89 roadster, about 20 minutes and was all done, bought part to do it from Mid America, I have gotten tired of sometimes waiting on the car to start and have had to walk home twice, after reading VASH'S comments on vats I didn't think I had much to lose (yah I know the car now has no security) the instructions stated exactly what my car was doing and that this would solve this problem, hopefully this works.

:D :D :D

Wouldn't it have been better to fix the original problem instead of defeating your security system? You probably just had a worn out ign sw. :crazy:

IT's easier to replace. Prevents future problems.

Is the VATS bypass the same for a 90?

Please see my post under your "VATS bypass" thread. PLEASE keep us posted as to wether this cures your problems. This is a major concern to me as I do not have any type insurance that would cover theft.
Thanks.
