did you put your fuel rail back on too?? lol jk. Are you pinching any hose on the back of the intake? Did you break your OPS or replace it?

Also what year is your car? Did you grind down the fins on the bottom of the intake where you needed?

i checked everything are connected, yes i broke the OPS but i've already put a new one in it, i don't think i pinch any hose on the back of the intake, it's a 98 camaro SS, the car would just click but wouldn't turn over

As far as I know no there is not... But I suppose maybe something is shorting out from somewhere they snagged your shiz... I am not an electrical guru myself but that could very will be it. Check all the wires and make sure they are not grounding on anything.

If your car has paskeyII you would see a solid or blinking security light on your dash cluster when you try to start it and it reads the wrong key code. if that light comes on when you try to turn it over that is your issue. otherwise i would check all of the wiring from the old audio like stated above to make sure nothing is grounding out. good luck

is there air in the tires?





J/k, lil Cheech and Chong moment there
2 things,,,,,
1.i did think that the VATS or something to do with theft would render the car useless until reset,,,,im not sure about that though, but i did think that the VATS did something like that
2. there are some grounds on the back of the heads that you would have had to disconnect when doing your manifold swap,,,,were those hard to see and execute grounds put back?

just some ideas for ya. GL with your issues, i feel the pain man, feel the pain.

i'll try to disc the PCM and see how it goes. Thanks man, was there just a clicking noise without turning over sound?
