Ive had good experience with southpointe on 32nd. They don't screw you over with parts you don't need or jack up part prices.I brought the Talon there one time back in the day when I was having problems. They told me they couldn't fix it because it had too many missing and too many aftermarket parts.
I lol'd.

Yeah it could be it the VATS...get to it I know you are bored...
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.

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.

umm... no 3.8 was a great motor.. 3.1 = nasty piston slapumm....the 60 degree V6s were very successful motors for GM...they hardly ever had problems(with the exception of the 3.4 DOHC). GMs problem has never been engines, its FWD trannies.
