- Holden VH 304 EFI
Friend of mine bought a VH and we're having a hell of a time trying to start it up for the first time; previous owner dropped a 304 efi in there but never got it going, isn't responding to my mates messages anymore so we're sort of on our own.
We replaced the fluids and fixed all the leaking fuel injectors etc (whole thing was a massive mess).
When it came time to startup; ignition came on but absolutely nothing when turning the key....so:
1. Found the relay for the starter and tested it = Relay working fine
2. Bypassed the relay and all was good = Starter working fine
3. Struggling to trace the cable, it's a single purple cable that runs through the firewall but I can see 3 purple cables inside the car:
1. 1x in the steering column
2. 2x on the shifter
Tried every button I can find, tried the neutral safety switch method, tried putting it in gear etc. We honestly have no idea what it could be and need some wisdom from someone with experience on these engines as we've only played with LS's before and have no idea what we're doing beyond a few basic googles searches.
Any help or suggestions is appreciated!
