I am doing an Lt1 swap from a 95 model to a 97 model after i spun a bearing.
I was needing to know if i need to hook anything up to the CPS if I use the 95 harness. The 95 does not have a Crank Position Sensor or the plug in the harness to use it. My main question is it vital and will the engine run properly without it plugged in. I have the engine in the car and am at a dead end until I find out what to do about the CPS

 

If you're using the '95 PCM, then you won't need the CPS.

 

Thank you SOOOO much that was what i was worried about... =)

 

I should clarify a little. If you have a California car, then a '95 will have OBD II, and therefore a CPS requirement in the PCM. But odds are you should be all set. Just leave it unplugged with the sensor in place so that you won't have to change the timing cover.

 

Let's clarify your clarification.
No 1995 LT1 f-bodies had OBDII. They are all OBDI, California emissions or no.

 

95 California cars had dual cats, right? Maybe I shouldn't be assuming that dual cats = OBD II equipped?

 

The 1995 California emissions automatic equipped cars had dual cats, but were still OBDI.

 

Ahhhh... I see. Damn you Shoebox. Next time I'll quit when I'm ahead.

 

ShoeBox is GOD!!! Am I understanding this to be if I have a 97 Z28 with a madwolf obd1 conversion I have no need for the crank position sensor?

Thanks Shawn

 

Yep, you can leave it disconnected if you want.
