Another possible VATS question My buddy has a 98 z28..
His symptom is a cranks no start. Checked Fuel pressure, was good, no security light.
If he leaves the keys in the on position for about 30 seconds it starts and runs fine with no driveabilty issues.
It acts the same for both sets of keys. I don't know much about the VATS other than what I learned in a search on here, but could it be a worn sensor in the ignition switch?
Thanks in advance

Doesn't sound like typical VATS issue if the car is cranking normally and no security light - unless maybe a P1626 fuel not enabled code? You didn't mention a SES light or codes. I'd try cranking the car for 15 seconds when it won't start then check for any codes. No expert but thinking it's fuel related.

He may have checked the pressure after it had time to build up. I think it's the pump or fueling related. I'd check it right after the key was turned and go from there.
