Default Tired of searching all the forums... Vats help please

I have a 95 base with a 3.4. The vats module is bad so the resistor trick wont work I need to know how to wire in the fuel enable wire from the module to the ECM. I need to know what wire is the fuel enable wire prefer out at the ecm. My dash is most of the way tore apart so if I have to get to the theft deterent module I will manage. I also need to know how to bypass the starter relay so it will crank. If anyone can help im about to start pulling out my hair. This is my daily driver and im tired of juggling vehicles. Thanks

The PCM is looking for a continuous signal from the module, if the signal is not there it won't fire the injectors. So if the module is bad it must be replaced with a new one, or with a dummy module that keeps the PCM happy, otherwise the PCM can be reprogrammed to delete VATS. Bypassing the start relay will allow the starter to crank the engine, but it won't start because the PCM will not fire the injectors.

Ya I know. I have already bought the "dummy" module. I just need some help figuring out what wire is the fuel enable wire. I need to know what wire to splice my "dummy"modules signal wire into.

At the PCM end the fuel enable signal connects to the "C" connector (blue color) ,pin #23 (dark blue wire). Looking at the PCM the pins count top to bottom, 1 to 15 on left and 17 to 32 on right. At the module end the dark blue wire connects to pin A-3.

^ But those only tell how to bypass the key resistor, not how to totally do away with the VATS module, like this procedure does: https://camaroforums.com/forum/techn...-delete-63327/

All the connectors on my pcm are gray. There is nothing blue on it. And as far as the blue wire I see 4 right off without digging around in the wire loom

Ok now I got the car running if I Jump power to the starter it will start and run. I need to find the starter relay now so that I can start it with the key. I dont want to run a push botton starter. Once I find it what wires do I splice together or do I ground them or what?
