Default car only runs for 10 sec

i have a 2000 z28 and when i start the car it dies 10 sec. later.
I have checked fuel pressure and it appears to be good. so i put a scanner on the car and it threw a code saying something about the theft deterent system.
is their any way i can bypass this?
thanks

If the VAT's is what is killing it, then yes you can bybass it. You need to get someone with EFILive or HPT to fix you up.

The pcm will need to be programmed more than likely. Even after you get it running it will throw lots of codes unless you set them up correctly..
