3sgte Post Swap Starter Problem Solved, She's Alllive! Options

[Chanh55]

As some of you know I took the 3sgte set up from a working 6gc (originally manual) and swapped it into my 6g (automatic). When the wiring harness was made, it was intended for a manual and not for an automatic transmission. For those of you that have automatic transmissions and want to do a 3sgte + manual tranny swap, this is for you.

So after calling Dr. Tweak, he suggested the following:

"Near the ECU, there is the II2 connector, and on pin 18 of the car's connector side, you'll find a black wire with a yellow stripe. That wire needs to be connected to a black wire that comes from pin 2 of the starter relay, you can probably find this wire by looking under the relay box and/or using the ohm-meter. Once those two wires are connected, it should start. "

Here's what I did: tapped into the black/yellow wire (car side) and ran it to the ST relay in the fuse box. Instead of taking the fuse out, I tapped into the wire that is connected to pin 2 of the relay which was a black wire.

Now she lives... but 2 problems.

1. I don't have a mid/ flex pipe yet, so it's freaking loud... I'm talking setting off car alarms across the street loud.
2. As soon as the key hits the "ON" position, something is making a rather loud "ZzZZZZ" sound. I suspect the starter... maybe a relay or something isn't doing it's job.

Connecting the black and black/yellow wire together at the COR would have been much simpler than running a wire clear up to your starter relay and would have accomplished exactly the same thing:

That's assuming that the wiring was done like that, remember, this is a 3SGTE swapped harness, so it might be different depending on how it was done. The 3SGTE harness is not set up like that.
