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.

Yeah, That was assuming the wiring was done the same way as RJB's. If for some reason the starter circuit was wired the same as the ST185's, connecting those two wires together will make the starter run constantly when the ignition is on.
