Bypassing VATS Question #2

Okay so I bought the Bypass Vat Module and I STILL got no start from it...

I "THINK" I hooked everything up correct...

I took the "Red 12v ignition wire" and opened(not cut, open, just removed the protective coating on the wire) a wire from one courtesy lights and twisted the red 12v ignition wire onto it.

I then opened the Dark Blue wire that is on the ECM connector B6 and twisted the "White: Fuel enable wire. 50hz or 30hz" wire onto that one.

I then first took both the Control wire and Ground wire and grounded them out together (30hz signal) to test it.... Still Crank No Start...

.... Then I unhooked the Control wire from the Ground wire and just grounded the Ground wire and still... Crank No Start.

The LED Light is coming on telling me that I hooked everything up right.

My question is... When hooking up the "Control Wire," am I supposed to Cut open the Dark Blue and then just splice the control wire to it.... or what?

Okay, another question...

Do I cut the B6 wire on the ECM when hooking up the Fuel enable wire?

I'm just going to by a prom from TPIparts.net with VATS disabled since nothing I seem to try works.

Because my injectors aren't firing. I'm getting Fuel Pressure, Spark & and Compression.

But my injectors aren't firing... & the only way we got the car running before was by purchasing an Eprom w/ VATS disabled. But I don't have that Eprom anymore & now my car isn't starting.

Re: Bypassing VATS Question #2

That was a problem I had also. I bought a VATS bypass module and no start. I bought a different brand and still no start. I did try both 30 and 50 hertz signals also.
I ended up putting a carb on my V6 but am planning a swap to V8 now with a 91 TPI setup so will need to buy a VATS delete chip.
I never did find out why the bypass modules did not work.
