1992 ZR-1 VATS(?) problem - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hi:
I went through this same issue (intermittent starting). Drove me nuts for a while. Sometimes tilting/untilting the steering wheel would help. In my case, the car could be push started, just not key started.

I decided to bypass the VATS and found the problem. While removing the Key switch from the steering column, found the very thin wire leading from the key switch assembly (which had, over time) been crushed and the actual conductor exposed. After discovering this, I found this (broken/crushed wire) is a common problem with all VATS equiped cars.
Good Luck!
