i hear ya bro. ***** computers. i hate needing a goddamn laptop to tune or troubleshoot my car. i got an 89 RS and everything besides starter, radio, lights, and ignition that has a wire comin out of it is getting fired.

did you bother to look up the codes the computer was throwing? one of hte big advantages of computers is diagnosis of problems.
vats is an easy enough system to defeat, it is simply a resistor. hooked up and ohm meter and find out what resistance it is looking for and you can simply wire in a $0.25 resistor from rad shack.

some "anti-theft system" :-p

hey, it knocked $50 off my insurance when i had my 91 RS. lol
the best part is there are only 19 different resistors GM has used since 87/88 when they started putting VATS in the cars. lol
