Unit said:crash i too have 4.3l vortec from a 95 astro van. I got the harness stripped/labeled and ready to be hooked up. Is there a list some where of what needs to be hooked up and what can be ditched?
Unit said:Yo Wazz its me Graeme(sold you the MT/Rs)
So hear is the deal, I bought the motor from Bud and got the motor, ecm, and harness. So far i got the harness laided out and pluged in. Turns out the motor is a 95(spider style injection(6)) with a 97 block. Harness/computer match the motor. I am not a wiring guy what so ever so you gotta bear with me. Do i need to plug in a charcall(SP?) canister? Or can i bypass it?
skrause said:Well since everyone else is raping the thread, what about on a 2001? :flipoff: And what are my options for an ECU since it seems the guy I bought the motor from lost it...
Unit said:Can i just leave the plug unhooked?
crash said:DO what trevor said 96/97 vcm....
crash said:All you really need is constant voltage to the orange and ignition to the pinks. Now this is very simplistic... Now the harness can be streamlined a bit but not a whole lot....
Trevor said:You're gonna open up a whole can of worms trying to use that puter with that new of a harness. After 98 they moved a bunch of pins around in the computer end of the harness. You can make an 01 harness work with a 96-97 computer, but you are gonna need diagrams for both.
Trevor said:Don't forget the tan going to the computer, and the tan going to the alt. to excite it. :flipoff:
Unit said:Yeah for the canister
So i have been going through the whole harness and have everything pluged in and have the wires labeled that need power and that are not pluged in. I gotta a lot of questions, answer at will. PS i hate wires just to this step and wanna rally her already.
The plug with the DLC, check engine, etc do i need this?
There is a plug with a Grey, Purple, and Black/white that i can find where is goes.
Also the plug with with green, 2 purples, tan?, brown what is this for? I was thinking it was for seat belt sensor(brown), brake pedel sensor(1 purple) and other inside crap. is this true?
Thanks for you help guys this is for this little project.

hey, Crash do you use mostly the tech2 or a genaric scan tool at work?
