VATS disable the injectors, not the fuel pump. Did you clean the VATS pellet on the key and try again? ps - if it sensed a bad reading from the key you need to wait about 3 minutes before trying again. A little confusing though a VATS is also supposed to disable the starter. You might have another issue going on here.

Yes you can but why would you want to? Do research sure it's in here someplace

If you tried jumping at the battery and it won't crank it's probably the starter interrupt relay ($16.00 at NAPA). But like the other guys said try cleaning the key first, the relay is harder to get to.

I had the same problem when I got my C4. I replaced the ignition switch with a brand new switch and key.. never had the problem again and it has been six years..
