Hey guys, im puttin in a remote car start in my 97 Riviera and im havin a problem identifying a few of the wires comin from the ignition.  I have most of the wires in place but there are a few im not sure what they do and i dont want to forget any of them in case their a 2nd acc or 3rd ign or something in important like that.  Anyways if any has ever put a remote start in this car or has access to a wiring diagram for this car it would be greatly appreciated
