HELP: Sometimes the vert won't start... VATS system issue?
Every once in a blue moon my vert won't start... everything works, all power, gauges sweep, etc, but when you go to engage the starter nothing happens. The first time it did this it started after a few times and once the starter actually engaged it fired right up like normal.
The 2nd time it did this I went inside and grabbed my 2nd set of keys and it fired right up. I looked at the "electrode" on my #1 set of keys and it looks to be in fine shape.
Af first I thought it may have been bad luck and the starter went bad as I had a similar issue when I let a buddy help me put the starter back on my Z06 post cam swap and he didn't tighten anything right... wire loosened up and I had the same type of "everything works, but no start" thing.
I'm guessing this is a VATS thing (what's that stand for again?... Vehicle Attempted Theft System?). Knock on wood it starts for me today @ work... will clean both keys w/ some rubbing alcohol. Might start keeping my 2nd key in the glovebox, but locked up.
Thoughts?
