Has this happend to ANYONE with there car before EVER !!!!! Ok, so a few weeks ago my car check engine light came on right before i went to the track and it went from a 12 sec car to running 14.0 trapping anywhere 8-11 miles slower. OBD TECH 2 showed 4 codes
p0100 p1657 the other 2 had to deal with o2 sensors , skip shift 1-4 then it was blowing the fuse in the engine sensor
since then i had it checked out to see if any electrial wires toasted they couldnt find anything. So they put in a 25 amp breaker fuse in.
so the car runs like crap then all of a sudden a week later the electric water pump goes out. I put a new one in and we noticed the electric water pump was connected to the pcm . So i bought a new electric water pump the car ran for 4 minutes then it died then the SECURITY LIGHT came on BLINKING the car woudlnt start at all. I contacted bryan @ pcm4less told him everything and he said flat out your PCM is F$C^E% so i managed to find one after searching all over the internet nobody had one called gm got the only one in the state threw brown and brown cheverlot in AZ. $208 bucks not bad. Its been sent off i should have it in 2 days.
Heres the question im having the VAT turned off do you think the car will start up or will the security light still be on and i wont be able to start the car ?
This isnt a tech question really im curious if anyone else has experienced the same

yes somewhat the same issue in my car is sig......the #6 fuse in th engine bay fuse block kept blowing causing the fans not to turn on and a whole buch of other stuff. i looked all over for loose grounds, bare wires and the whole 9 yards but could not find anything. So then i thought to myself let me replace the PCM which i had one laying around so i installed it and bam the problem was gone!!!! damn PCM was Screwed!

Here's some vats info, it helped me fix my car just the other day. Hope it helps you too. I do not see how the vats would make it run different, but it' worth looking at because a security light is a vats issue as far as i know. So read it all, you will learn a lot and might even fix something lol.

This is coming from a firebird so it may be a little different on the camaro's. Mine is located on the metal bracing inside of the dash, to the right of the glove box. I am able to reach these by dropping the glove box and then reaching around the bracket to the backside. Mine was a gray relay. There were two of them side by side. Not sure what the other one is though.
