Cadillac Repair: my 1999 deville wont start, www.autotheftexpert.com, vats


Question
I drove my car to church,it ran fine then I came home and parked my car and now it won't crank up,all systems read fine and the fuel pump comes on but the car won't start.

Answer
Hello,

When you say it won't start, does the engine crank?

If it doesn't crank, play with the tilt. Up and down in different positions and see if it will crank then. Hold the brake and run the shift lever through the gears. Try to start in neutral.

Sounds goofy, but if the small little VATS wires broke in the column, by doing this they may connect. The purpose is only for diagnoses because these cars with the VATS anti-theft system were very problematic. So much so I was getting 15 emails a day to bypass.
