yeah i agree, fault codes should tell you if its a vats issue or not.

also, is it a park/neutral switch type of issue ?

If you leave it up to the pcm it's like the old inhibitor switch problem but if I earth the start relay myself it turns over every time
I will get the cable so I can read the codes as it's hard work without them

i've got one of those you can borrow in the meantime. i am down the road in hoppers. in your conversion do you have the port that normally goes under the steering column for diags wired in to use?

i had a very similar issue with an ecotec v6 motor in my VN. turns out the engine loom on the engine was wrong for the PCM/BCM. i swapped that out and it came good. prior to that i had to jump the starter relay to make it go.

you sure your switch has +12v at start and run time during crank?

I work in laverton so no problem getting to hoppers.
I have even been to the trouble of running another start circuit loom

I have considered changing it back
to MAP but don't have the loom or dizzy from the vn anymore but that's not hard to replace.
I will persevere with what I have for now

Trying to data log with a cable a member has let me use (thanks again to that person)

I cant seem to be able to load my definition file in tunerpro, when I go to the folder its not there to select yet when I go into the folder it's in on my laptop it's there. If I copy & paste it then try & open it a message comes up saying adx load failure. What am I doing wrong? xdf downloaded from here.
I can also see the parameters on the left in tunerpro
