Default LS2 Vats ?

Will a LS2 with the VATS not deactivated have spark to the motor or not. I am trying to start the car and was wondering if the car will start and run for a few seconds then die. Can you spray carb cleaner to see if it will fire? I still haven't had the computer programmed yet. I wanted to see if I have everything wired correctly first.

Thanks.

Yes, it will start and run for a second then die, as many times as you want to try it.

If that is in fact the case I really need to fing out what wire(s) I don't have hooked up to power the coils. I am going to have the ECM reflashed today and start from there.

Thanks for all the support. Had the ECM flashed and it is up and running. Hell yeah. By the way the vats killed the spark for anyone thta has a uture problem like I did.
