91 firebird security probs

i recently bought a 91 firebird from an impound lot. naturally it had no keys, so i bored out the ignition. i can get it to roll from acc. all the way to start, however, it has a vipersecurity system plus two white wires going to the lock cylinder. how the hell can i start this thing???

going by you saying theres 2 white wires it sounds to me like there is a VATS security system stock in that car. there are ways to bypass it but as far as i know you have to know the resistance that its set at, the dealer might be able to tell you but im not positive on that

yeah i can get by the vats but its the after market system thats giving me the problems

i just got an 91 firebird from impound and of course the ignition was bored out. i just want to try to start the thing before sinking any money into it, is there any easy way to bypass the VATS??

Threads merged for duplication :nono:

I thought the problem was with the Viper system :dunnoL If it's vats, you need to know the resistance amount of the key that it used to use. OR, there's a thread here by 'Malletslinger' that discusses a aftermarket bypass system.

yeah thought i had the vats prob licked but evidently not

im telling u guys..saudering the chip into the system itself works better than the resister thing..its perfect! i had the resisters at first and u know what, it was good for a year then it started messing up again...using the chip in your key is the best and cheapest way...u dont have to buy anything.

would love to try it but i dont have the keys

would love to try it but i dont have the keys

:1: DJ, would you like to 'borrow' my glasses? :grinno:

tried the resistor trick, worked like a charm. i found a list of resistor values for the car and made all 15, then just process of elimination. took half hour but worked great!!!!

Nice job :thumbsup:

VATS, another great pioneering moment in automotive history. :uhoh:



:lol:

oh damn i didnt see he said he didnt have the keys...why the hell not??? lol
