Default 86 Corvette won't start

How do you bypass the security it won't let the fuel injectors work I can jump a wire on top of the motor and it will run for a min but stops and won't start back

Let's just clear up something, Your Symptom Your car won't start. Does the Starter work without jumping any thing if it does your Vat's Chip has been Accepted and your problem is else where.

So do the Basics
Fuel pressure,Fuel Pump Cycles the prime
Injector Pulse (noid Light or Pulse Voltage with DMM)
12 volt check at coil if good Spark?

May not be your problem but on my 89 it would not start for 3 weeks
I had a friend who's a full mechanic go over everything in our driveway, air fuel spark nothing seemed wrong

Very frustrated he went back to the fuel pump undid the ground wire back there and cleaned it and it's connection up.
Car fired up right away and has ever since then
