OBD2 swap in older car

[95SleeperAcheiva]

i got nothing, no crank, no fuel. I'll check and see if i atleast have +B voltage through engine harness. its going to wait 2 weeks anyhow.

if it is the passkey 2, then it will try to start (crank), but not fire (sometimes it will fire, but die a few seconds later).

I tried to turn mine over a few days ago. nothing. No fuel pump signal, no starter signal. Fuse box has power all over it. IDK what I did wrong. I posted on it in swap. I'm suspecting passkey, and if thats the problem, IDk what to do about it. I don't have original vin to donor car, key...nothing. I'm going back over the wiring in a few weeks. Opening day at the track is in a 2 weeks, drag car gets priority.

I decided to take a break from it for a while. I wanted to fix my 1995 Cutlass Supreme, I did that and sold it. I did some work to my 1994 Cutlass Supreme convertible. That is my current daily driver.

Next, I am going to fix up my 1990 Grand Prix STE, and my 1992 Grand Prix SE (I can get them fixed sooner than I can my 198. Once I get my 2 Grand Prix's done (both need less than $500 worth of work), I will sit down and figure out what I want to do with my 1988.

I DO miss driving it, but my 1994 convertible is close (interior wise), so I am not jonesing for it like I was in the past (especially when I was driving that 1995).

i just read the whole thread and man you did a lot of work but you did a really great job with it too im sorry to hear about your trans but i cant wait to see what you do with it next again great job

[IsaacHayes]

Been so busy I haven't chcked the thread in a while. Grab a trans and get it going!

What is the new direction you want to go in?? You gotta drive it a bit at least after all that work first! haha

[3100 MPFI]

It is just sitting there. I am going to do something different with it, but I need to get the money up first. I started working on my other 2 cars instead, then moved into a new house, and right when I was going to get back to working on the gold car, I bought my 1994 cutlass supreme convertible.

I still need to pick up a transmission, but I think I am going to just strip the car down to the shell, and start totally over with it. I kinda want to go in a different direction with it.

It's all your fault man!
lol
I saw this post on a swap and decided to go for it myself. I have an experimental car to try it on first, a 92 achieva 2.3 sohc 3 speed auto, getting a 99 malibu 2.4 dohc 4 speed. Made the mounts no problem, matched most of the wires and by-passed what i could. I think i got it wired right but then it started snowing and I wasn't that hard pressed to finish.
Well, the weather has broke and I'm about to go back at it.

How's yours going?

[3100 MPFI]

I appreciate it guys. Now, I just need to get off my lazy ass, and get a job so I can get the transmission done.

[Sonyman]

All i gotta say is thank you for all what you've done and shared. We need guys like you to put it out there for others to follow if they comes across issues like that for reference. Trust me, all what you've done was not in vain. Thanks-a-mil plus a buck.

[3100 MPFI]

it does stink, and it got me discouraged, but now I see it as a minor setback or delay.

[d.o.h.c]

OMG, that stinks man. Nice swap though.

[3100 MPFI]

yeah. A friend that works at a tranny shop came by and checked it out. Something is deffinatly broken in there. Once I get it out of the car, I will open it up and see what happened.

[Crazy K]

I watch when i have a chance. been quite busy and all.

so whats the final tally? the trans is definitely bad... where'd you pick it up at? how about a j/y tranny?

[3100 MPFI]

thanks
