battery could be bad. these cars are battery hogs, they don't run right without a fully charged battery

Nope its a fresh battery, This is torture

The ignition was on accessory when I put the battery in I am thinking I have set off the VATS off

you could try taking the battery out again waiting an hour or so and then trying it all over again

My fuel pump isnt priming so I think it must be the vats

mgbrv8 · 08-06-2011

Okay now its cranking like it had a sticky solenoid or somthing, but now the fuel pump isn't pumping. Any idea It has a full tank of gas.

Dose a 91 Z have the Fuel pump test connector in the same place as the 90

mgbrv8 · 08-06-2011

I think I found the connector, it is the one coming out of the main loom from the ecm right in front of the wiper motor. Now I put power to it from my test light and I didnt hear any pump sound. Do I Have bad pumps?

unless you absolutely need the car tonight, take the battery out and let the car rest overnight. if it is a vats issue every time you turn the key you're adding time to the lock out
