Hey there
i have recently swapped my vt ls1 for a vu ute ls1, now my my vt stalls after half a second everytime after ignition.

What could be causing this?

ive been told the computers are interchangable
as far as im aware the wireing is complete

New motor + Boltons
old trans,
old ignition packs

the one thing i know isnt hooked up is a small hose going down to the trans on the right hand side. (vaccum hose i believe)
could this be causeing it to stall?
if not what else?

Thanks for the help, cars been off the road for a bit now, is mad shitty =[ want her going again...

I'm not sure of what you are saying but if you have swapped the computer (ECU) it won't start without being linked to the BCM.

Thanks for the response
i havent changed the ecu/computer, i have been told i didnt need to from vt to vu. just wasnt sure if taht was true or not...

Well to word it better,
vt ls1 = dead. i put in a vu ls1 now stalls.
every part of the car besides the motor and boltons are from the vt

Just need to find out possible solutions =] cheers

when putting in the motor, all the wires looked clean.
i will check for error codes in the morning, hoping its a cheap fix, has already cost me near 2000 =[
how much did it cost to do that?
thanks mate

The engine will run for about half a second if the immobiliser isn't off. Is the security light in the mode switch flashing when you try to start it.

yea the light is flashing, its an after market immobilzer, but i didnt swap the computer or key or anything, would it still affect it? and not sure if it matters but the stalling time varies, can stall straight away or after a second

sounds like something to do with your imobiliser.. you must have touched a wire or knocked it somewhere

So,immobiliser's light is flashing,meaning,its armed and you trying to fire it up ???? Brilliant...The answer to your problem is flashing at you...

may seem like a stupid question,
but how do i unarm it? normally if its alarmed and you open the door wouldnt it go off?
i was never given a key to the immobilser, are they easy to remove?
