U have a service manual? It's a pretty simple issue, with a simple fix, it's just a PITA to do. Get a ohm meter and start tracig the power and ground circuits.

The problem with the fuel system was it kept just nuking fpr's like it was nothing.

You did check the fuse on the firewall under the hood too, right?

which one? :/

is it a inline fuse? or a normal fuse?

Normal fuse. It should be bolted down next to the relays on the firewall. It has a case it snaps out of.

yea that fuse is fine.

I was looking on the computer today at school and it was saying that there is a ecm harness ground on the firewall somewhere. anybody know where its at?

I have a few, there is one right above the brake booster, and there is also a bunch on a set of wires over by the drivers side fender, but IIRC thats for the Light harness.

well i went and got another engine harness today so ill see if it works tomorrow...

Pics someday man.

still no luck... :/

I had that problem at first.
Thought it was that damn BCM. Turns out it was a stray ground from a ground block on the 3400 harness.
I have all data diagrams for the 00 alero and 99 GA if there is something I may be able to help with.

if you could post it or link me it would be much appreciated.

I will PM you login info.
Just looked up some of your posts.
My entire Beretta is wired as a 99 GA.
For the dash to read correctly I modified the GA IC to fit the GTZ.

You are the man. Thanks alot! I got a lot of useful info. Thanks alot!

I have no idea whether this might be your problem, but thought I would offer it. I had a similar prob on my 92 GTZ after some work to replace the dimmer switch. I had the column dropped and all the wiring wrapped around it & everything else it seemed. After putting everyting back together I couldn't get the car to start. Starter would crank no prob. Lights worked. All fuses were OK. Thought it was a spark prob. Search in vain for a long time convinced that there was a spark prob. I took the driver side hush panel and knee bolster back out. Seems that somehow I managed to pull a single power wire (the one to the cluster and PCM) out of the side of the ignition switch. After pushing the connector back into the side of the ignition switch the cluster powered right up and the car started.

do you know what color the wire was?
