Can anyone confirm whether or not a 92 Lumina sedan has the VATS security in it? I have read conflicting reports, and the key for the vehicle does NOT have a visible "chip" in it. Also, no lights on dash indicate it would....???

Thanks,

Brian

if there is not a black pellet on the steel part of the key...then it does not have a vats.

My information leads me to find the tach wire on the coil pack... I can see the coils in the front of the engine. There are 3 packs with two spark plug wires from each. Also there is a connector on either side of the "coil pack". The wire I'm looking for is WHITE? I do not see a white wire on either connector.

Is this the correct "coil pack" area?

I can see the brake switch from the pedal on this 92 Lumina. The switch has a hose coming from it, and going towards the passenger side. There are no wires that are visible. Does anyone know if the wires run through this black rubber hose? Or is it some sort of air pressure switch?? I have seen information that it is easier to connect on passenger side (green wire running towards rear of car,) but I can not find that wire either!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

Brian

So, there should be a single white wire from that area, or one of the two connectors will have a white wire?

I have installed on a cavalier, and a sunbird, and the tach wires were obvious -- but this one is not!

Are you saying a white wire in the passenger kick panel area that runs towards rear of car? Do you know where that pneumatic switch actually is? I can only see the hose running upwards towards window, and behind stereo area.

Thanks again,

Brian

On your coil pack there is one white wire which is the tach wire. Look a little closer and you may have to clean the wires to see them clearly. The brake switch is on the same bracket that holds the switch with the rubber vacuum hose on it. The hose is for the cruise control. There is a separate switch which probably has an orange, white and light blue wire in it. The white wire in this switch is the brake circuit you need.

Hey Sparkie,

Thanks a lot. I will look closer for the brake switch for sure. The tach wire now: I found a violet/white wire and hooked my meter to it. I have a frequency meter, and it does have a frequency generated that increases as idle increases. I have seen some "diagrams" that claim the tach wire is indeed violet and white. Could it be this wire?
