I'm interested in his location which I expect isn't the US and maybe there's a communication failure of sorts that's "no fault" of anyone. Let's see how he responds to my two questions.

He doesn't have a starter problem, it cranks.

For the LAST time....YOU DO NOT HAVE A VATS PROBLEM.

Test the fuel pressure and look for bad filter/pump and or injectors. Ohms test inj hot and cold. Pressure leak down rate when off, Fuel pump REALY....You DO KNOW that IF your FPR has failed that you have to crank the starter for a long time to trigger the oil pressure switch that THEN gives power to the fuel pump? right?

Just because there are 60 minutes on the face of the clock, does NOT mean that VATS is involved. It generally takes about 5 minutes to go thru a drive thru. That is NOT VATS related. A good shower takes about 5 minutes. Mine runs out of hot water after 5 minutes,. VATS is not at fault. The guy standing there using the hot water IS. AGAIN, waiting a few minutes is NOT A SYMPTOM of a VATS problem !

What are the stored codes the ECM is displaying? You don't know...
I Forgot.

FWIW,
Just because you CAN start after a 5 minutes, in NO WAY indicates that VATS is involved ! Especially after the starter has been working ! damn !

Whats it gonna take?

You want to ask for help with this but refuse to accept what you are/have been told by everyone that's taken the time to respond !

If you already KNOW what the problem is, why are you asking anyone here?

I'd love the opportunity to help someone today, BUT this is starting to look like a troll-thread. You keep getting GOOD advice from knowledgeable people but reject it in favor of you GUESSING because you WANT it to be VATS or you just want to screw with people that genuinely wish to help you.
I wish you well in your quest for a VATS issue !

Like Mr Wonderful says.........
"I'm OUT !"

What should you do?
The 1st paragraph is a great place to start, IMO. Good Luck
I am sorry to disturb you, that was not my intention. My car has both the spark plugs (cables included) and the injectors replaced for new ones. The fuel pump sounds when I put the contact and seem to work. That is the reason why I thought that this is an electronic issue, but I will follow your advises and ignore VATS like cause of the problem.

I will try to read the error codes and let you know, ok? Again, my apologies and thank you for your time.

Dear friend, I am locater in the EU (Spain). I bought some big red books related to my 88 Vette, I thing the ESM is included with a sheet about electrical issues. Am I right?

Dear friends, I am thinking that this issue started after replacing my injectors for a Bosch III ones.

If the problem comes from the new injectors, has it sense that when the car does not start, I must wait some minutes no matter how many attemps I do?

In any case, I will try to read the error codes and quote the result, thanks!
