hey i have a 97 camaro i swapped a ls1 into from a 01 vette....i got it all together and its having a problem its not cranking the starter. the harness was done by current performance wiring, and was re pinned for a 97 swap to ls1 for 01, the harness was from a 01 camaro, the computer its a brand new gm one, tuned and had the vatts removed. the car will not crank, the fuel pump is kicking on. i tested the power to the starter, the main wire from the batt has power to the starter, the small wire from the ign./comp... its not getting power when you turn the key to start it, im thinking something is disabling it, i check all the fuses still nothing, any one have anymore idea?

You have the same problem I had from the sound of it..

Go into the area behind the right of the Glove Box and you will find this Relay here..



Pop that bastard out and cut the Yellow and Purple 10g Wires and splice them directly together.

Let me know what it does.

For my car it would Crank but wouldn't start..then again I have a '95 and the wiring is a little different..hopefully this works for you.
