I see from the FSM that it does need to be in park or neutral to to start the car. Can I jump some wires to make it think it's in park?
Will the engine run properly without the other connectors attached? I don't mind it throwing codes as long as it runs well.
this transmission is electronically shifted, the TCM does that,. just like all modern cars do now.
the 99 year has 2 brains, the ECU for engine and one for trans, called TCM
99 has only 2 models of ECU is #33920-65GH0 federal48
and 33920-65GK0 calif. (smog rules e33 market coded)
The TCM in this car that does all shifting , is 38880-65g31.
sure you can jump wires, to crank,
the PRNDL switch can be faked (jumped.) and cranked and started for sure.
the book I showed you is 1999.
and the pages to see are.
page 240 and connector C32 is the range switch, PRNDL
jump pin 5 to pin 6 and the starter works. page 182 for IGN ST , hot wired, 182 is starter motor path and page 240 is TCM shift switch RANGE< wiring. 9pins total
the tranny can not upshift unless all its speed sensors are working. or the TCM just does nothing.
