Is it possible disable/remove VATS on a 2004 GTO LS1 engine with HPT?

[Hersker Hans]

my engine runs for a couple of seconds now. Ive just installed it in a Nissan 200sx, thats why i need to remove the VATS. I thought you where able to remove vats with HPT. thats actually why i bought the program. If i cant remove it on my engine i guess I should have done a little more research before i bought the program. . It works good i manage to download and upload the VCM. Just have to learn the program. Ive tried to search the forum to find an answer.

system-general tab-Vats fuel cut-disabled or is that not doing it for you?

[Hersker Hans]

under system-general tab-Vats I have 3 choices. VATS: Serial, PWM and None. cant see the fuel cut disabled choice. My engine has a Serial VATS as standard.

I just installed the HPT update that i got on mail yesterday. And now i found the Fuel Cut disable function right under the other VATS button. . Maybe i got so lucky that you released an update on this the same day i was gonna start my engine .

[Chris@HPTuners]

if you set the type to None it will disable VATS completely.

Chris,
What do you do when there isn't a NONE selection?

Can someone explain when we should see the "fuel cut disable" and when we shouldnt? Looking at one of the stock programs for a 2002 LS1, I dont see it. I do see the VATS disable feature.

it was a bug, its all fixed now.

Chris,

I dont see it using version 2.1.1.8 when opening a 2002 LS1 file of the repository.

A friend is programing my PCM so am getting familiar with the program using similiar files.

Should I see it in a 2002 LS1 PCM file?

nope...04's have alot more stuff packed into them. If you need to disable VATS in an 02 just set Security-VATS-none & that should do the trick.

I have the same problem with my Camaro 2002 V6 3800 series 2 engine swap in an old Plymouth. It fires right away and runs for 2 seconds. Clearly a fuel pump shut off due to the non existent VATS.
I have upgraded to the latest software release of the scanner today, but I have only the options System/Security/VATS PWM or Serial. No option NONE. So I put it on PWM.
I have programmed the DTCs 1626, 1629, 1630 and 1631 to 3=no error reporting.
But still the same problem. Any suggestions what else to do to make this baby run....

I have the newest version. All I see under system, general is vehicle and alternator. I have checked everywhere and the is no vats option.

By "System", they meant "OS". Under the OS tab, you will find "General". Under General, you will see the VATS Patch 1 and 2 toggles. Set them to Disabled. Mine also has the Starter Fault Checks disabled.
