still having problems....re:1992 bonneville (msg.# 1768) by samiam6

In reference to my message #1768 I changed the ignition module, started the car,it ran for 5 secs. or so then died again only this time it set a code. The code was 58...fuel pump disable due to the VATS (vehicle anti-theft system). Does anyone have any suggestions on trouble shooting this system or even bypassing it? I guess if I can get by the VATS I'll put the old ignition module back on...maybe it was never the problem. Thanks for any help I can get in regards to these problems.

I thought the VATS system only kept the car from starting when an incorrect resistance was read. I didn't think it could stop it once the car was running.
 
The VATS can be bypassed but you may have the earlier system that Passkey II.

I believe the '92 vats system is prior to the Passkey 1 & 2 systems. If the vats won't kill the car after it's started why does it keep setting that code when it dies? Any ideas? Thanks.Mike
The discription of the code acording to alldatapro.com is "58"-PASS Key (VATS) Fuel Enable Circuit.....Anyone???

We own a 2001 Bonneville that has just begun humming. Can you tell me what you found out about your car when it did this? I notice your message is dated Dec 03, and figure you either fixed the problem or got rid of the car (which is very tempting) Thanks in advance for any help you can share.

Bonneville hum, whine, by jt9

I need help, our 01 Bonneville is making a humming or maybe more of a whining noise continuously when running. Even when we shift to N it can still be heard. It gets louder the faster we go.
If anyone has any suggestions we sure would appreciate your help.

Had the same thing with my '91 It turned out to be the MAF sensor.

Intermediate Half Shaft by hydrasports

I have a 2002 SE with 59,500 miles. I have had the half shaft lubricated and 2 new ones installed all under warrantee. I still feel a notch in the steering after only 5000 miles since the last repair when turning under acceleration. I keep fixing the same things over and over. Is something else wrong with my steering? It does not bind or get stiff like the rack is going.
