Howie, i connected the RED / black and the RED / white wire to a constant 12+ and still no start. it sounds like it wants to engage the starter however it wont and then the remote buzzes at me. any ideas?

Looking again at what you did, harness H1, BLACK/ white, ground it, also if auto programme for auto transmission.

If still no joy after you do those two things, try an R/S with the key in the ignition, if it then starts, you'll need a by-pass.

Forget the last I kept thinking it was a 98. There's no earthly reason for it to have an immobiliser.

Howie, i connected the BLACK/ white on the H1 harness to a ground and it still wont crank. i programmed the brain to automatic transmission a few days ago. i dont get this and its driving me nuts! is there any other things to reprogram on the brain?

There should be a toggle switch with a plug the needs to be plugged into the brain and in the ON position. Do you get any flashes from the parking lights?

Okay i just got the starter to crank by unhooking the red wire off of the ignition harness and wired the RED / black to replace the red wire... but the fuel pump is still not engaging.
