Will vats keep a starter from engaging? My fuel pump will come on and run but the starter doesnt do anything. Could it be vats keeping it from working?

 

No.VATS does not affect the starter. It cuts fuel and spark. Check your wiring to the starter and also that the batt is fully charged

 

What kind of conversion did you do??? Possibly a t56 to auto??

 

It is a 04 5.3 into a 93 4Runner with a th400.

 

Was the pcm for a M6 before?? I ask because I just ran through something like this when I put my TH400... I had to do a "tricky" wiring strategy.. haha.. not really,it was really simple but I had to splice two wires together for the starter to work... It's because the clutch basically completes the circuit when it was pushed in and without the clutch pedal it wouldn't make the circuit.. If this sounds like what's happening to you let me know so I can tell you how to fix it..
