Yes you can turn the VATS off with HP tuners. No ABS or airbag control though so pull the bulbs

Fuel pressure bleeding off could cause the hard start

That was just the VATS. It will get one injector pulse before the pcm realizes that the VATS enable signal doesn't match so it will start and stall.
