Default Car won't start

Car will start run briefly then quit. It has been sitting up at a transmission shop getting some work done when this happen. I need to get the car started and back home. I understand that disableling the "Vats" is one way to get around the security system but I don't know where to find this on HP tuners.
Any help would be appreciated.

Could also be a grounding issue. You could check all the grounds on and around the battery. They may have disconnected the battery if they worked on your car. Just an idea.
