00 vette starting issues please help!
Im working on a friends car and we are having big issues. Car is 2000 base c5. Car has been down for 3 weeks as i was building turbo kit for it. Got it finished last night and it started immediately and ran for 2min then all of a sudden died. After that i tried to restart and it wont prime pump. Waited few min then tried again and it primes and starts but dies immidiately. Then wont prime again for 5min or so. Security light comes on when it dies. I have torn thenis thing apart wiring wise trying to pinpoint a problem. Tried bypassing vats with a resistor and does same thing. Im lost and have been reading for hrs trying to figure it out and nobody ive seen has clear solutions. Please help, i need this car out of my garage lol.

If you don't list the DTCs,, you could go Crazy or Broke trying to fix it:
Please clear the DTCs and try to start it. If it starts and dies, READ AND POST the DTCs before you turn the ignition switch OFF.
