do you know what has been wired? did you use an old harness or were they trying to make a new custom harness? theres lots of wiring you need. if you use a old harness theres not alot to hook up really. be creative and do what you want with it. there is obvious things that need power so you might need some meters to read voltage etc. pics would be nice to, to try to see whats been done so far.

Did you check out post 13 of the FAQ sticky? Theres lots of wiring info in there.

We do need some more info on your combo to be helpful. IE: what year make, and model the wiring harness is from if its stock, the same for the PCM if they are not from the same car, if your using electric fans, keeping the emissions equipment, etc.

It will crank with the VATS still turned on, and it may run for a second or two, but it will not stay running.
