Thanks all who never replied when asking for help

Guess I was able to do it once again with the help of my shop elf. Last night went to garage to do some more custom trim of interior and on my floor was a small black piece of plastic. Low and behold it was the casing for my TPS. Apparently someone had opened it and tried glueing it back together. DUMBBELL of an ideal I say. Should find out later today if that was my issue of no spyder jet spray.

I know it's frustrating when no one answers your question , but consider this ;

You are brand new here . No one "knows" you , in the chat forum sense as your not an "established" poster . So , along comes this stranger with a question , no problem so far , we answer questions for strangers all the time , it's how strangers BECOME "regulars" around here . But here comes you , a stranger , and your asking the ONE question we just about NEVER discuss publicly , a question of how to defeat the anti theft feature in these cars , a question that basically amounts to a how to guide for stealing a VATS equipped car ! Yes I know your story went that someone died and you got the car with no keys and that's why you need to defeat VATS , which may be all well and true , but it just as well equally could be true that you ARE planning to steal someone's VATS equipped car and we have no way of verifying which you are , due to the whole "stranger" deal . So , next time , before ya go gettin that size 10 chip on your shoulder , stop a minute and try to consider the other side ;

Let's pretend your a master safecracker . Some stranger asks you how to break into the exact same type of safe you own at your place to hide your stolen gems in . How much info are you gonna give out regarding the security system protecting something you yourself own ?

Not realizing there was a little thing called VATS well I'm pretty sure I've bypassed all that now and to my issue no starting. I can only get my spyders to spray if I use test light on blue or green wire and touch ground while cranking but seems I have no pulse to keep them spraying. I'm lost would surely appreciate any body's help where I go from here.

Re: Thanks all who never replied when asking for help

Additional considerations;
1) Getting people to understand what your problem is. What is a "spyder"? Anyone that works on cars calls these "fuel injectors". If people can't understand your question, you are unlikely to get people to put additional thought into figuring out your problem.
2) Time to respond. People don't live on TGO... well, some might. So the people who can help you with your problem might not see it for a while. The time between your first post with a question to your second-ever post now complaining that people won't help was just 24 hours. You would have been better off replying to your original thread to bump it with an... Anyone? Bueller?...

Welcome to TGO, and good luck getting your 91 Camaro running!

Re: Thanks all who never replied when asking for help

Disconnect the tube that ejaculates fuel into the spyder jet sprayer rail. (Note: not the side that is after the regulator that sucks down the ejaculated fuel).
Now, follow one of the rubbers with the sneaker at the end (you have 8 of these coming off your dizzy and running down to the emission plagued heads). Take the sneaker end you pulled off the arc sparking plug and jam that tube (that ejaculates fuel to the spyder jet sprayer rail) into the sneaker.

Now crank the engine vigorously for about 30 seconds non stop and it will fire right up!

Re: Thanks all who never replied when asking for help

lol zraffz. Where did you get the term spyder? And if you still have VATS problem, the search will bring up many discussions about defeating it.

I dont know how anyone would begin to help you with that original post as written. You mention no details on what motor you were working with, did not describe what you did to try to bypass vats or anything like that that would be helpful

Hey Orr89RocZ ,

Re: Thanks all who never replied when asking for help

Uh there is also this space on the left hand side of the screen that you can fill with all sorts of info about your car and where you're at... Maybe someone on here is in your area and would be willing to help... I have been known to help out random people on occasion...

I've been accused in the past of living on TGO, but truth is, I don't.

I would take a lack of followup here by the OP to mean one of 3 things ;

Either he WAS tryin to steal a VATS equipped car , or , He got angry at the responses here and went away all butthurt , or , he fixed it (or gave up on it and lit it on fire) .....

tips for getting your questions answered ,,, be concise , be polite , use due diligence , it never hurts to check if your particular issue has been addressed already. do not use words such as "thingamabob " or "doohickey" to describe your issue . do not be a dick . and ,, really ,, next to a FSM . we here on TGO are your best bet , i hope this helps
