What cam code? Front cover cam sensor? The harness is always pinned wrong

i believe it is the front one under the water pump.

i got great news! Phil got to looking at my car and tuned it enough to make it drivable after i get my coolant system functioning properly. i do have other bugs to work out of it though
really happy he was able to that for me!! i owe him big time. huge favor he did for me!
BIG THANKS to Dr. Phil!

hope i can get this coolant issue solved and drive it home dyno day!

[TRY MEH]

fixed the coolant line at jakes automotive on dyno day
cycled the air out of the system and drove it home open headers *had a head ache car was so loud lucky no cops was near by ^^^got a lot of thumbs up on the ride home though lol

made it home no issues what so ever cant wait to get this thing 100%

Nice, glad to hear it worked out!

If I do get a tune on my car, I am absolutely having Phil do it. I haven't heard a single bad thing about him, and it seems like he'll really stretch himself to help folks out.

Happy to hear you made it home alright! So is it fully tuned then? Did you put yours on the rollers, I can't remember?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I don't think the tune is finalized at this time but glad to hear you made it all the way home without issue. Once its buttoned up I'm sure Phil won't have a problem tossing it on the rollers to get you some numbers.

he tuned it from what he could do it hasn't seen the rollers yet
phil couldn't tune it 100% since my cam sensor wasnt reading properly (need to swap outside wires*i hope)
then put the rest of my exhaust + new o2 sensors on there should be ready for a tune

shouldnt be to long before i fix the issues just busy lately. ill make sure to schedule one time in advanced ^^

i fixed my oil preasure sending unit with my intake still on. wasnt as bad as i thought i broke the plastic off of the old unit and put a socket on it turned it loose and got the wrest out by hand. when i installed new on i put some teflon tape on it screwed it all the way down by hand and snugged it up with a adjustable wrench did it in parking lot at work total of 10 mins..

id really like to fix my RPM gauge ive been reading about it people say its controlled by my PCM? but is there some sensor i may have forgot to plug in that i cant find?

PCM sends the signal on red connecter pin 10 to body harness connecter 105(blk 8 pin connecter on pass wheel well) pin G, then to the tach on your gauge cluster. It reads reluctor wheel by means of the crank sensor. Check this wire for resistance. Should be 1 ohm or less. You could also check the wires from the crank position sensor to the pcm. Here are the pin locations at the pcm- all on blue connecter- lt green pin 2- dk blu/wht pn 12- yel/blk pin 21.

Just out of curiosity, what year is your LS2? 2005 LS2's were 24t reluctor wheel while later models were 58t reluctors. The only fix that I am aware of if it is a 58t is to remove the crankshaft and replace the reluctor wheel with a 24t. Hope this helps! Look at the crank sensor, if it black you should be ok. Give me a ring if you need to.

heres my updates! did most of these long ago though
changed trans fluid *GM synchromesh
wired cam positioning sensor correctly and RPM gauge works also the car fires up every time now no backfires
installed a custom 3inch y-pipe i made my self from a old one i had to cut and weld a side though but fits nicely thats hooked up to my borla cat back *sounds amazing at idle but i hate the borla sound @slow acceleration*
new oxygen sensors bosch 13111's
all major codes that needed fixed are fixed
fixed a few bad connections

talked to phil about my car he says sounds like its ready!!! just need to call and schedule a day to have it tuned now

Glad it's coming along nicely. Are you gonna give us the numbers or keep it a secret

not tuned 100% yet hasn't touched a dyno when i get it in there ill post up the numbers not expecting anything crazy. my guess is 430ish?

[TRY MEH]

Car is tuned!!!! 450.79rwhp 423.53tq if im reading this rpm sheet correct? @6800RPM+ (doubt its that high) peak power looks about 6200rpms though

air/fuel reads 15.90

was told everything went good all codes a cleared no check engine light and now i can use my A/C without almost stalling lol


one issue i had on the drive home.. i came to a stop and car wanted to stall out and brakes was turning into manual brakes since i had low vacuum when trying to stall... not sure whats going on there? it did it a few times but not often... ill have to do some looking into it

big thanks to Dr Phil at jakesautomotive!!

[nascarnate326]

Damn those are some nice numbers!

buy me a fast intake ?
