94 Camaro v6 lost key VATS/No Start

**LSVolvo940** · 09-27-2021

I have been keeping my eye on the car for a while, chilling like a villian with weeds growing up around it. The story is the owner lost the key so I talked to the guy Dakota who bought it and was changing the key and ignition in it, gave him my number. He messages me and says he cant get the car to crank over. I think I'm going to buy it but I don't know where to get the bin for the v6. I also have a 95 Z28 I use flash hack , eehack and tunerpro. Being a v6 car I don't know what the difference would be, not changing the mapping just vats delete.

flashhack should work with it
should just be able to read the bin, disable vats, and write it back

Isn't there also a starter relay that would also need bypassing?

I believe the module in that car used a fixed resistor. Maybe just buy a kit with the resistors and try them until it starts. It just means trying one and then waiting 20 minutes or so before trying the next resistor. It's 15 resistor values. I think the middle resistances are the most used.

I crawled up under there the other day. Could hear the starter relay clicking. I will get on my tuning laptop and load the xdf. Im owing Steveo beer now. This one actually uses the regular 0bd1 port so I will have to look at the rx/tx and ground layout. I have the db15 Breakout connector and a standard ALDL to DB15 cable connector. I thought it was less thought intensive to just y bridge rx/tx and tin two ends. Should I need the ftdi adapter or will it work without?

you do have to bypass the starter interrupt too, that's true, unless it's already been done, which maybe it has been if it's clicking.

the cable from your 1995 will work fine. you can google pictures of either connector to figure the pins out.

the 'older' connector uses top right as ground, and bottom right as data. the 'newer' cable uses bottom left as data, and the 5th pin in the top row as ground.

I already snapshotted a diagram of both ports for 94 and 95 Camaro. Clicks but no crank, its been 4 days since I looked at it for the first time briefly. The keys supplied measure 7.5k ohms. I will have to look and see where the relay is. It seems like its right behind the console near the stereo but I did not get a handle on the relay that clicks when i turn the key to crank.
