i have an 89 2.9 firebird

I have been attempting to jump the starter relay and been semi successful.
I have a wire going from the yellow thick wire to the green thick wire and when i go hit the key it cranks for like 3 seconds and then the whole power goes out.

I also have the orange vats wire off the key lock cylinder(it ripped off) haha..

Do i have bad ground somewhere? or Am i jumping the relay wrong

Any tips would be much appreciated!

 

when i hit the key foward, the car acts like it wants to fire up
(with the 2 starter relay wires jumped)

i grabbed a wire connected it to the starter
then i go put it on the positive post of the battery
& the car cranks but it doesnt give the signs that its going to fire up
