    also log the vats status bit in the scanner, this will tell you if its a vats issue or not.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    Adjusting for vats will do nothing for you if the cylinder has gone bad. Swap the ignition cyl with a "known good one" and I bet your troubles vanish in the night. I had this issue with my Grand Am and this was what finally fixed it.
    I work at a GM dealership, and one of the mechanics had a cylinder in his tool box that he gave me, swapped it over and two years later still working perfectly. And yes, vats was properly disabled the entire time
