ok figured it out,simple (big)error on my part(obviously),got wrong bypass ,gottta #4 (took reading off this key,mistake) shoulda been a #14(good key)all along,damn meters decimals& zero's,anyway what I did was unplug ignition under panel,put old key in ignition& ran jumper wire out vats wire to good key pellet since I have no resistor(steady hand needed) at same time turn on the ignition& wolla,it runs,the whole time the key& ignition were worn out,its 4:04 am ,time to go to sleep.

VATS or oil pressure switch???
If your car cranks, it's not the VATS. Or perhaps you've successfully bypassed the VATS to get the crank. That was probably #1 of 2 troubles.
The other trouble was that the engine ran for 2 seconds or so then died. That indicates that the oil pressure didn't meet muster, the oil pressure switch didn't sense the oil pressure, or the 'brain' didn't get the message. Most likely, the oil pressure switch went south. There are two oil pressure sensors. One feeds the gauge, the other feeds the 'brain' and both are located at the back of the intake where they are really difficult to see. I don't recall which is which but your Helms manual will indicate the read-out vs the kill switch.
They aren't expensive.
Hope this helps.
