Default LF tuner to help with VATS

I have an 02 formula and I think my VATS just screwed up on me. For the last month or so the car would sometimes act like it didn't wanna start. This morning the security light came on and later in the day it just wouldn't crank at all. I tried both my keys and arming/disarming the alarm (factory alarm) dozes of time with no luck.

I need a tuner that is willing to come to my house since I can't drive it and delete the VATS. I was told before that was possible. This is my DD so I need it running ASAP. I'm in Dallas near White Rock lake. Someone please help me.

Might need to do a resistor mod on it.

I may be running on borrowed time. I've been driving around with my security light on for months without any issues (that I know of).

That happened to my corvette and it wound up being the ignition if I remember right. I think the resistor mod would work but I just had them change out the ignition. How far are you from North West FTW?

Im in east Dallas. My buddy offered to help out with the resistor mod. Might end up doing that. I just wanted to see what people had to say first, just to be sure. Don't really want to pay a tuner $300 or more to do that one thing. The car only has a cutout and lid, so I doesn't really need a full tune yet.

You cant delete vats you need to do the resistor mod. Deleting vats only works if your body control module is faulty and need to program a new one
