You guys remember the pics? The hood was jacked anyways but damn 2 days in a roll something happens to my cars. Im kinda afraid to drive the LS1 now . Just thought i would vent a lil.
Sounds like you might have popped a fuse or fusible link. My father-n-laws '84
TA died on us going down the road. Turned out one of the wires coming thru
the firewall shorted out, made the guages go nuts, then popped one of the
main fusible links coming off the starter. Maybe you should leave the hood off
the corolla

VATS may be screwed up in the LT1. Same thing with my LT1 trans am I had. Turn the key on and nothing. No fuel pump priming, no lights, no nothing. I did the resister mod on it and everything was fine..

Well the lights would turn on and the cd player would come on. Even when i turned the key i could hear the fuel pump coming on. It did sound like it was clicking at the fuse box under the hood.

I know, but they make a special swivel tool that will fit back in there.

The best and easiest way to do it is from under the car. Thats how I did mine. Took about 10min on that one plug but I got it. Now with the LT's all can be swapped from up top in a matter or 30min.

Hey guys i didn't know that their wasn't an ignition relay under the hood??? I thought there was bc i was going to replace it with a new one but advance said that there wasn't one. He told me that it was probably a fuse somewhere.

Never listen to anyone that works at advance... Those retards dont even know what a relay is... We mess with them in Springville all the time. Go in the store ask wheres the left handed screwdrivers, or look up a muffler bearing for a 99 Z28 and they look till they cant find them then say they can prolly order them..

They may not be that way everywhere but Ive been to a couple that are that way.

Back on topic, there should be a PCM ign fuse under the hood. Check it. The best thing for you to do is check all fuses, then swap some realys around to see if one is bad or not.

Like I said then, check all the fuses. Pull them out look at them then reinsert. On the relays just swap some around with each other... And keep trying to start it.
