Got a 1995 Lumina 3100 stripped it completely and she won’t crank...need some help....how do I bypass that so I can get it running... before anyone says it yes it was a rookie mistake I know... Put a carb on it I would check alot of things 1st before I just threw a carb at it.

I would check alot of things 1st before I just threw a carb at it. I would agree with you LUKE. Trust me I would agree. But again why it wont start would all have to do with how the dash was removed. The original poster posted this in 2 different location and I didn't feel like typing the same response twice so I went to a default with 5 words in the response. But overall yes I agree check everything you can before you throw a carb on it. But if you got a carb laying around Sh1t just throw her on and go. Me personally if I took the dash and it wouldn't start again I am not going through a week of trouble shooting again only to have it not start. I am a bit better at these cars because of it. But in the future I will be carbing the motor if I get a no start again.

He jumped the starter and got it running. 10 minutes worth of wiring was easier, cheaper, and less time consuming than getting a whole carb set up and actually getting it to run right. I've seen so many guys carb these motors and they run like total garbage. It's not something you're gonna do quick if you've never messed with them before. JMO.

I responded in the other thread before he said he didn't cut or clip wires. Ive been follow the thread and reading it I didn't need you to give me a play by play but thanks for telling me what I read already after I made posts in the beginning of the discussion. Yes I read that he was able to jump the start and it ran. That's all fine and good he got lucky that's all he needed. Like I said I spent a weeks time chasing all the wires I could trying to get one of these damn things to run right.

He got lucky? No, you assumed what he did and you were wrong.
You were basically trying to belittle him by calling him out on a rookie mistake he didn't make.
You need to calm down with all the preaching and horrible "tips" you're giving.

Well to get back on track I have a 99 lumina I plan on stripping this weekend I did go through the thread but didn't see any super set of "do not cut or remove" rules besides clusters is there anything else I should be careful with? This is my first injected car I'm going to try to run. I do have a good carb off a 300 straight 6 laying around that I could resort as last resort. If I missed something in the thread I apologise.

Has anyone ever tried using a vats bypass module? I found them on ebay. seems like a legit deal to get past the antitheft. I will find out for sure in a few days.

I have tried the vats bypass modual and for me personally didnt work all that well. What kinda vehical are you running??? If its a cavy between 95-97 i can tell ypu all how to do bypass it all with one simple wire and you will never need the cluster again, and absolutly no theft locking you out.

Im not sure about 98 or newer but you could try. In the wire loom on d-side on floor by the seat, pull it up, pull the wires out of the loom but dont cut them all!!!. There will be a bunch of pink wires. DO NOT TOUCH THE TINY PINK ONES. There should be 5-8 bigger pink ones maybe more. One at a time cut the bigger pink wire and ground it to the body. If it dont work splice it back and do the next one and so on until the car stays running. Now i never once traced the wire back to see exactly which one it was so thats what i do with mine and there is no security and no clusyer anymore. REMEMBER not to do that to the tiny pink ones. If i had a pic or a cavy for that matter i would post it to give you a better idea and look. I hope this helps everyone.

Got a 99 Cavi that someone else partially stripped. He removed the gauge cluster and cut 3 wires up near the key. I put in a cluster, spliced those wires, did the reset multiple times. Still runs for 2 seconds & dies There are 2 other wires hanging near the key. I thought they were unrelated, but I'll grab a pic & post it later today.
