Hello All This my first post - so now that is out of the way :)

I have been slowly rebuilding a 99 Saleen 281S - I have done much. One of the upgrades is the ABS module delete. With that said I have also taken the liberty of removing all of the wires that have lead into the module and traced them back to the fuses. In addition to that mess - some idiot - Yes the person before me ruined this car - put a 2nd alarm on the car along with the ever so popular second cd player and lets not forget the neon lights :) . No joke - there was neon inside.

So needless to say I have been through that thing with a fine tooth electric comb - my question: What is absolutely necessary to just start the car and idle? I am putting her back together this week and the electrical system is in disarray. I just want to get her purring.

Please do not hold back for those who know the wiring well, I have come far lol: I will keep up.

PS I just realized - so of course the primary functions are wired what I mean with this question is - is there some random system that must be hooked up and function upon start up - in order for the DTCPU - (drive train? -- going off memory) to say "ok everything is here that i need for the car to start - I don't need the stereo or the lights or the door locks etc.. ) Right now all systems are unpluged - all fuses have been checked and work - the main ignition wiring on the steering column is correct and sending signals (checked it with that red and black thing ha)

And its super charges with an inter-cooler - lets not forget :)

Hope that helps a little.

Thanks :wink:

Welcome aboard.

For the 99, you need all of your engine management stuff going. Think all of the sensors: Oxygen, Throttle Position, Idle Air Control, if you still have emissions hook all of that up. The fuel system, injectors to the pump. The temp sensor. Sometimes if that's unplugged it can make the car do weird things.

Obviously you know you will need the battery and the alternator hooked up.

Post up some pics
