<VV> Lisa won't start.

[Tom Hughes]

Did you try shorting the purple wire to the positive terminal of the
battery. You need to de-mate the connection near the fire wall and get 12V
to the end of the purple wire that goes through to the starter solenoid
(the one that goes through the grommet. In a pinch, you can use the
dip-stick by wiping it clean, poking the pointy end into the connector, and
touching somewhere along the length to the positive terminal.
