I have already done the VATS bypass and had it disabled in the PCM. But the VATS system still keeps me from starting the car intermittently, usually several times in a row. Sometimes the light will flash and I will have to move the steering column up and down while turning the key for it to start. I'm 99% sure that it is the ignition lock cylinder, but I just wanted to confirm this before I take it to the shop. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Yes but I think one of the wires in the lock cylinder is making intermittent contact
