Default Why is my C5 engine cutting off

Has anyone had the problem with their C5 engine cutting off after starting. I start the engine and put in drive and it cut off about four or five times. The problems is not consistent it does it every now and then but when it does, three or four times cut off.

This sounds like a problem with the VATS (VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM) cutting off fuel to the fuel injectors. It is also possible that this could be related to your pass key resistor pellet or ignition cylinder. The ignition reads your key's pellet. Sometimes the cylinder gets worn and will not read the key anymore. Try using your spare key and see if this still happens. If you want information on by-passing the VATS, I'll tell you how to do it for under $10.00 in parts.
