It sounds like the VATS but if you didn't use the LS1 ecm then it shouldn't be a problem. Hey guys if he disconnected the 4.8 ecm or messed with the ignition switch would that affect the VATS?
Wait you said you are starting it by arcing across the starter I'll bet that is why the theft system is killing it. What do yall think?
I am not sure of the procedure to reset the security systems. Does your owners manual tell you what to do in that instance? It's probably the same thing you have to do when you replace a battery to reset the entire system. It's probably the body control module "BCM" that has you locked out.
Have you tried this.... http://nelsonperformance.com/passkey.htm
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(RedHeartbeat @ Mar 6 2006, 10:09 PM) [snapback]46278[/snapback]</div>I have no owners manual with the truck, this is a complete rebuild so I am in the dark! ha haQuote:
I had to do that in the ss, but had lost my notes, I will try that tonight...I think the key may have been replaced, but am not sure, this may be causing the vats system to be locked. I will definately try anything and everything to make this truck right. Thanks again for all of your guys help
Truck started with the key, finally found the problem....but still only runs for 3 seconds...which is the vats I believe. Do have some major trouble though....I am still not getting any oil pressure so I am thinking they may have put the o ring on the pick up tube wrong....so gonna tear into it and find the prob!
Did you use a new O-ring? I didn't cuz the old one looked OK & I couldn't get oil press.
The most important thing is to get a coat of oil on the pump rotor. That helps to create a vacuum so it can pull the oil up. You could pull the little block off above the oil filter and pump oil in through there to prime the pump.
does that place have like a spout with a plug in it....is this what you are talking about? I put ten quarts of oil in it to flood the system and try to get it to seal and still yet did not work....is the way you are talking about any different? My tune man does strictly lt1 and ls1 and he said that it is prolly the o ring and he would charge bout 200 bucks to take it apart and get everything working correctly....this would keep me from messin with it. I could try your idea tonight if you can give me more details on just how to do that! That would be greatly appreciated
I think they used the old o ring!!!!
did you replace it wen you didnt have pressure? and did this fix the prob?
I can't remember of there are one or two holes behind that cover. The one closest to the front of the engine should go to the pump, if I had to guess. Now, how to get oil in there is up to your creativity. If you have a pump type oil can, you may be able to use that to get oil to the pump. Just fill up the can and then pump your heart out until the can is empty. You'll probably have to wrap tape around the end or something like that to make it large enough to seal off and not leak out.
Yeah after I replaced the O-ring I had great oil press. It was amazing to me that that little o-ring would keep me from having press. Like I said the old one looked pretty good so I was like what the hell shouldn't be a prob right... WRONG! Go to your nearest GM dealer & get one it's like $1 or $2 you can do it yourself & save $200 just take your time & follow the instr. on WWW.LS1howto.com & you'll be fine. :thumb:
