so I went to start her today for the first time since looming the entire engine wiring harness and buttoning her up for the last(ish) time

and she would crank but not start

my heart sank, miles of wires hidden in yards of conduit ran through my mind, I dreaded the idea of having to troubleshoot all of that

then I calmed myself down and said: When dealing with LSes You know it comes down to three things right?

1. grounds
2. Grounds
3. GROUNDS

so I eyeballed the ground boundle, and I wiggled it with my hand, yup, nice and tight, started to pull up on them one by one, and the last one ended up in my hand

yup Professor Silky Smooth hide the wiring loom under the engine forgot to ground the separate trick PCM branch, no worries it was only 19 ground wires bundled into one, ha ha

so grounded those, and she winked at me and fired right up

We'll call that the Anti Theft Device.
