lt1 to ls1 swap no start

On your last post you said that #87 goes to the pcm and that is incorrect as # 87 should go to the fuel pump. 85 and 86 should be 12v and ground respectively an 30 should be a 12v constant.Some may argue that 85 and 86 can be reversed and in most cases it will not matter unless the relay has a suppression diode internally to clamp off voltage spikes. Google automotive relay operation to better understand their function.
Here is how its setup currently.
#86 - to PCM for the FP Relay Control(wired as part of the harness). green/white wire.
#87 - to fuel pump. Not sure were it should go on the fuel pump.
#85 - Ground which is part of the harness to ground. black wire.
#30 - 12V power
On the factory FP Relay.
i noticed i have:
#86
#87
#87a
#85
#30.
What i basically tried to do was connect the #30 and #87 from the harness FP relay(not factory). the harness has its own seperate FP relay.
i connected those to wires to the factory FP Relay. to the respective #'s
Got no Fuel Pressure or prime.
I didnt check for voltage on the #30 with a multimeter.
But since i havent connected the oil pressure sensor, which i believe triggers for the fuel pump to get voltage. i may not getting power to #30.
Here in a few minutes i will connect the oil pressure sensor/wire to the appropriate gauge connector, but before i do that i will check for 12v on the #30.
wish me luck broskies.

Oil Pressure has nothing to do with the Fuel Pump...
This is the correct way for that Relay:
#30 - 12v Fused source power in.
#85 - Relay Ground.
#86 - PCM FP Relay Control (12v Exciter).
#87 - 12v supply to the Fuel Pump (POWER)
Don't worry about 87a.
You'd think when you spend $500 for something from a company they would have good enough customer service to where you don't have to come on a forum searching for answers on the pile of **** you bought from them.

Launching!
The factory diagram shows terminal 85 as the 12 volt feed from the pcm to the relay and terminal 86 as ground. It appears as there is a diode or resistor in the relay to prevent a backfeed / voltage spike from occurring as the fuel pump turns off. To check for the pcm feed signal place one voltmeter lead on terminal 85 and the other lead to ground.Turn the key on/engine off and have a buddy monitor the voltmeter as you do this You should see battery voltage for 2 seconds indicating fuel pump prime. As you begin to crank the starter the pcm then sees an rpm signal from the crank sensor which signals the pcm to enable a steady 12volts to the relay pin 85. Pin 87a will also have b+ voltage when no prime or no crank signal from pcm is received.Themerv is correct as the oil pressure switch has nothing to do with fuel pump operation on the ls motors. On earlier TPI and LT1s the oil switch served as a backup in the event of a relay failure.

Ok lets see if i got this correct.
#30 - 12v Fused source power in. - I have to provide 12v from a source(alternator) to this wire with 15 amp Fuse
#85 - Relay Ground. - Goes to Ground
#86 - PCM FP Relay Control (12v Exciter). - This exits and goes to the PCM.
#87 - 12v supply to the Fuel Pump (POWER) - This has 12v and goes to the Fuel Pump.

It's not really fair to bad mouth the harness vendor. There is a learning curve for these type of projects and mistakes are made all over the place by all involved. The customer can order the wrong part, misread the instructions, or other factors cause problems, and no I don't work for PSI but those who depend on employment there depend on the company sales for their livelihood. Onlinereviews DO impact sales and I think we should be fair in our criticism.

The biggest thing to me is the fact this guy has to come here looking for answers on something that should be answered by the company. I have dealt with many companies and they ones that have the best customer service have always gotten my business and referral. You cant even put the time into customer service then you don't care about your customer or product.
This case here if he's not getting help they took his money and left him hanging, that **** isn't cool.

I have the original LT1 harness.
I installed an ls1 harness with the required wires to the dash harness
The only wire that i have a doubt is the wire for key on crank. i have it connected to the LT1 C100 Cavity G Pink wire for power feed from ignition fuse 11.
Im getting no fuel pressure of course. i have vats disabled. no prime whatsoever on the fuel pump. i was told if the crank sensor isnt working. it can cause no signal to be sent to the PCM for the fuel pump to prime.
