Default 1989 Corvette will not start

Hi, I have a 1989 corvette. My issue seems to be the car goes into a security lock at time and will not start. I have read many articles regarding the vats system. But since the car was purchased new it's had a issue on and off. At one point i found a procedure that helped turn off the security ( Like key in ignition lock the door from the outside open from the inside etc.) I can't remember this sequence dose anyone else know it or have any ideas how to bypass the security? IT's been a few years since i drove the car .. it's back up and running great beside this annoying issue.

Thanks in advance for any help
