    Disable vats and won't start only with starter fluid and it will stay on.

    I have a 6.2 swap on a nova.
    Vats are disable but car won't start I can start it with starter fluid and the car will stay on and you can drive it, after turning off the car it won't turn on. It's like there's no gas I have try everything I have never have a problem I work on old cars with le swaps and never had this problem.

    You have a fueling problem, it needs more fuel to start. It may be in the tune or you have low fuel pressure, clogged filter or injectors.

    Been seeing a lot of problems this last year with fuel filters that have built in regulators taking a dump... Might want to check fuel pressure as previously stated if your using one to regulate your pressure.
