      More "live and learn" LS moments...

      Been having starting problems with the new engine and getting "cam sensor" error code

      Worked with Scott Brown today on it and foumd that the connector was worn an not giving a cam position signal (so the computer just guesses)

      Fixed that and was still getting a code... but it started more often

      My LS2 is an early using an E40 computer.. as such its a 24x deal. When we built the 454 Comp accidentally sent us a newer single bolt cam. To get around this we used an LS3 cover and gear. I was focused on the 24x part that we didnt think of the 1x versus 4x cam sprocket deal.

      Now mu com is looking for one pulse and getting 4.. So from a cam sensor perspective the computer is seeing 4000 rpm when the engine is ideling at 1000 rpm ... luckily the rev limiter and most functions read off of the crank sensor.. still, we think its hurting performance somehow. Just not sure how.

      So, will the 1x cam srpocket even bolt to the single bolt cam? Can we "make" it work? I need to grab some parts and find out

      The best fix would be to program the computer to recognize the 4x sprocket in the car.. dont know if that is possible.

      Anyways, mystery solved an lesson learned.. make sure ALL of your parts match up.. lo
