ok the problem i am having is that i have a miss at anything below WOT but when i started play8ing with wires i unhooked the vats wire that should shut the car off and well it kept runs like nuthing happened?? started fine too no clue... as well I was told that if the computer throws a code the fans are supposed to run constant when the car is running... well i dont have my rear O2's or my MAF hooked up and the fans only run when the car heats up to max temp as if idling in trafic..... any sudjestions guys ??? im lost on both the miss and the codes thing thanks

if you disconnected the VATS wire while the car was running, it assumes the vats modual failed, and goes into a fail-safe mode.... the car will throw a code, and run without VATS..
this ONLY happens if the VATS system fails while the engine is running.
the fans only run if a coolent temp sensor or other related code makes the PCM think it cannot see temp... otherwise, the fans operate normally, even with a code thrown.
