Hey guys

I swapped a LS2 from a 05 GTO in my RX7 and have now completed the work. The problem is the engine just wont fire up. It will crank happily but I get no fuel and no spark. My wiring is done right I checked it many times and I get the switched constant 12V to the coils and the injectors its the pulsed signal that is totally lacking. I have Aeroforcetech OBD2 gauges hooked up to the OBD2 port and they show my all the engine stats. I get an RPM signal on cranking and it does some stuff with the fuel tables as I see it. The gauges also have a option to show DTCs but no faults show up.

Fuel Pump gets turned on an primered by the ECU and the fuel pressure is right at 58PSI.

Does anybody have an idea what it could be? I double checked on everything. Engine and is PCM are perfectly grounded. The switched and constant 12V sources are clean and all fused.

Sounds like VATS is interfering.

I don't think it is VATS if the fuel pump is priming. I will have to look at my manual to confirm though.

Vehicle Anti Theft System

If the key resistance is not recognized by the VATS module, the starter and fuel pump are disabled for 10 minutes.

How did HP Tuners clear a VATS problem though? Usually you have to clean the cylinder contacts to correct it.

I guess what he meant is the VATS was disabled in the PCM ... in EFILive it's G1201 and G0801 ...
