I've got a 2 door that's been sitting here for ten years. Nice little car. Stick. Got for parts for the now defunct S/S project. It has that alarm problem where it fires up for about three seconds then shuts off with a dash light ALARM light coming on. Need to fix that first. Or bypass it. Anyone know about that?

First need to know if your key is a chip key if so ican send you the instructions to program that key.

Yes. Chip style. I've tried various online "remedies" none have helped. A long time a ago there was a fix that involved crossing some wires below the column but I misplaced the instructions and at the time wasn't too worried about it as I thought I was going to part it out. Well, it's a complete nice car so I might as well use it as a Grade Point Granny.

Go on YouTube. There is a video on exactly how to do the steering column bypass. I had to do it to a truck that had a VATS problem that was not worth putting parts into to fix it right.

Ok. I'll look for it. Thanks

What year and make. VATS needs interrogator to determine what chip number. There 15 numbers. If it is not the exposed type chip and it's the one sealed in head of key then it requires the 3 ten minute intervals with key on. Also depending on year the connector inside switch may be bad. Requires new switch assembly and possible 3 ten minute intervals again.

Pull the Ecu and send it out and have the vat delete and tune done. Face Book, he does not answer phone but will reply on {TBG tuned} up in Iowa ,does it. Best money you will spend. Tom
