Size Doesn’t Matter . . . . . uhhhhh At Least Not In The Circuit.

It doesn’t matter.

Those fractions refer to the wattage dissipation of the resistor and there is not enuff wattage in that part of the circuit to matter.

Therefore choose a resistor of a size to make it easy to connect.


Happy Racing!

Re: VATS question!

It might be the VATS unit itself then. You'll have to buy a VATS bypass module off the internet and solder it in if your vats is broken.

But have you got 12V coming out of the Ign switch when key in start?
Switch could be faulty sending no power to starter circuit
Have you checked for 12V at the relay , the P/N switch / starter solenoid when key in start position
Could a have bad wire / bad connection somewhere

VATS Bypass module only supplies correct fuel injector enable signal to ECM.
You still have to manually bypass the starter enable relay so it wouldn't help with his problem

Re: VATS question!

does anyone know of a good write up to bypass the VATS as I am going to be putting my 355 t56 in my car soon and would need to know how to either bypass it or completely eliminate it all together. Thanks
