help!!! well give me suggestions...lol ok guys the ride is now up and running!! it ended up being my accel ignition box that was bad and was making everything go weird..speartech is only like an hour and half away and i took it to them to see if it had something wrong in the wiring or the computer seeing that they did all my computer and wiring on the car.. well they found the problem and got it taken care of for me and took care of some other things too for me that i needed done since i did a 97 motor in a 94 car and used the 97 harness on the 94 car so they had to rework my whole motor harness to be compatible with my 94 under dash harness and my 97 computer..on top of it all i went from an auto to a 6 spd..so they wired up my clutch safety switch and bypassed my vats in my key the right way instead of the resistor in the wires like i had it..they only charged me 150 in total..bottom line speartech is such a great place and very resaonable and i would recomend them to anyone out there that needs computer work or wiring work done for their lt1 car or motor...they are the best in my opinion................thanks for all the help and ill leave these threads like this if anyone ever has these problems they can look at this thread and maybe get some help off of them..thanks for all the help for all those who have tried helping..my opti was good btw if you have threads
ok brand new sparkplugs, wires.....i think i know wnat the prob is but i want suggestions before i go out there and go ripping on ****...lol...ok here is the deal car fires right up and as soon as it does it dies...like instantly...now here is my ?..can your crank position sensor allow your fuel pump not work?? well just throw suggestions at me and ill tell you if its that or not and we will illiminate it as it goes....thanks and maybe with everyone here helping me we can narrow it down to one thing and get her going..dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumd umdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum thanks all, jarrett

what did you do to the car before it started doing this, or did it start doing this so you started replacing some parts? we can help, but need details to do so 
what year is the car? sounds like a fuel pump, possibly the regulator??? do you have a rail mounted f/p gauge? definitely a good investment!

ok left a light on inside and ran the battery down...battery low and blew the ignition fuse on the under hood fuse block...changed the fuse and charged the battery...still nothing...so i put new plugs in thinking they maybe were fowled out but still no response...the opti is what gives the injectors permission to fire so if the system is already primed my fuel pump wont run right?? im not hearing my fuel pump come on so im thnking thats it or maybe its the opti..theres a lttle more for you to go on...the year of the car is a 94 but the drivetrain is 97...so a 97 pretty much

SES light on? How about the security light?
Check the fuel pressure via the schrader valve. If that checks out, check for spark at the plug. That should get you pointed in the right direction as opposed to shooting in the dark.

So you have already gotten the VATS bypass done?
There is also the theft deterrent relay, but I believe that it just keeps the starter solenoid from engaging. If its cranking, this shouldn't be your problem.
I'm still kind of confused as to whats going on.
