Definitely delete VATS and after that, only four wires need power. 1 - Make sure the fuel pump can provide 58 PSI before cranking and while running. 2 - PCM Keep Alive Power needs full time 12 volts. 3 - PCM Full Time Power needs it before start up and during running.

4 - After that, make sure its in neutral and give the starter solenoid some high amperage 12 volt power and I bet it'll start.

Default Got it

I started checking the pins for 12v. All head it. Then i notice none of the grounds were working. Put my hand behind the intake and notice the ground was cut. I would have never thought that a bad ground to the ecu wouldnt let it crank over.
