almost there.. won't start
 

i'm not getting spark or fuel.
i have a vats bypass wired in.
i'm getting 12v to the coils and injectors.
i have tested continuity on the grounds and they are good.

here is the info i found on this site as to what is in an aftermarket harness.
the wires marked with *'s are wires that are not in my harness.
have i removed something that needs to be there for the car to start?

I would think you need this one "*9 DK/GRN FUEL PUMP RELAY CONTROL".

the fuel pump is working because it is wired on it's own cirtuit.
maybe the computer needs to see something there, i wouldn't think so, but i dunno.

What do you have your VATS bypass wired to if you don't have #30 VTD fuel enable signal?

the vats bypass is going to pin 30.

What are you working on? You have an aftermarket wiring harness, but what's the PCM out of? Was just thinking if it's a truck PCM, the bypass won't work. Just a thought.

i trade for this car and it was already half done.

i don't know what this harness is from honestly. all the wires that have been removed were done so by the previous owner. it had all of the connectors chopped off when i got it. i modified all the wires to the correct lengths and put connectors on them. the wire colors are consitant with the 2000 fbody diagram i got off of this site.

the computer is marked stock 99 and the guy told me it was from an fbody.

rah!

A long time ago, I had modified a 5.3 harness for a guy. We got in a hurry and wanted to hear it run, and hadn't finished wiring up the fuel pump relay. We hot wire the fuel pump and went for it, nothing. When i scanned it , there was a code P0230 for fuel pump control. We wired up the fuel pump relay and then it started. now I don't know if that was it or not, but might be worth a shot..let us know...

Not sure if the PCM would shut down fire/fuel for a relay circuit not working.

Hey, also make sure you have power to injectors/coils/pcm DURING CRANKING

Regardless if VATS was disabled or not, you should always have spark, and injectors should fire for a few seconds..then die.

Also, injectors like to stick after sitting for a long time, might try priming the intake with fuel when you get spark going and still have problems.

hmmm, i guess i will move the fuel pump relay trigger from the key to the computer.
i already figured out the hard way the i need to wire up key hot AND the start position on the ignition key:)
