Default Starting issue please help

As of late my car has been taking about 7-8 tries to fire up. It tries strong but won't start. But once it fires over runs with no problem. Any suggestions to look at? or anything to check? My motor is out of a 99 T/A with a t56 if that helps any at all.

Fuel pressure and ignition. See what the residual fuel pressure is.

Did you bypass the VATS system?

I'm not 100% positive if the shop that did it bypassed the vats. The shop that did the shop closed a couple months ago so finding them to ask questions is impossible. Starting to find out quark after quark in there work it's very frustrating.

p.s. now that I think about it I'm sure they did have to byspass it It still uses a nissan key and remeber them not being able to fire it up at first due to the vats
