      Touche son. He has been my family mechanic for years and you are not kidding he really will only fix what you tell him to do. Place is fuckin BUSY tho.

      I can also vouch for Corey's, worked closely with Frank there on more than one occasion and he's one of the best.

      At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

              is the chip in the key bad then maybe?

                    Holy fuck. lol. Thanks though.

                    I also tried using both keys for the ignition and it didnt change anything but I will check into that as well. I think I am going to replace the fuel preasure regulator. I dont think thats going to work, worth a shot.

                      STOP THROWING PARTS AT IT. it doesnt sound anything like a fuel pressure regulator.

                        word.....highly unlikely it is the FPR, and even with 20psi that thing is going to pop and fire

                        take the cap off the schrader valve on the rail and open it for a second, if you have crisp pressure you are good

                            have you had the low coolant light come on recently. could be the upper intake plennum/gasket (i'm assuming you have a 3100). something to check into at least. good luck.

                                its a 3.4L. No coolant light hasnt come on. the coolant level is normal. It hasnt overheated.

                                  if it's cranking over with the ignition key, it's not the VATS. if the VATS isn't recognizing the resistor in your key, you'll get nothing at all when you turn the key to start, aside from a blinking anti-theft light.

                                  i've only seen one person successfully bypass their VATS - that's a nice write-up though, and looks like it would work if done correctly. Waste of time/energy unless your VATS wires snap somewhere though.. which happens a lot.

                                    You have obviously never installed remote starters for a living then... It takes a resistor and a relay and is not rocket science.
