Question How To Start My Car

Hi, I will be putting an 98 ls1 motor into another car. I want to run everthing from the ls1 motor, you know like electronics and everything. How would I go about it with the computer key code deal. I want to start the car without the original key that came with the ls1 car. How do I do that?

There is a VATS simulator circuit you can use until you get your pcu flashed. A cheap circuit you can build was posted here a few months ago, or you can buy one for about $15.00.

You can send the ecm out to have the VATS(vehicle anti theft system)removed when the ecm is flashed(reprogrammed) Meaning you can start the car w/ regular ignition.
