Default ls1 in 67 camaro wont run with o2 sensor hooked up

I swapped a 2000 ls1 out of a camaro ss into my 67 camaro, I have S&P open headers on it right now with the factory o2 sensors. The engine will fire/run as long as the o2 sensors are disconnected. As soon as I hook them up, it will not fire (still cranks). If I unhook them, it runs again (for 5 seconds, VATS is still enabled) Has anyone seen this before? all other sensors are hooked up. I used a techrods engine harness. It has a 4l60 if that matters.

More info: I heard the engine run in the donor car with these same o2 sensors, they appear to be stock gm.

ok, I know why it wont run, but I dont know what to do to fix it. It has spark until you connect either 02 sensor, then it looses spark. I'm stumped...

Still working on it ...this is what I have learned in the last hour.

In the haynes manual for 2000 camaro the o2 sensors should be black, pink, tan, and brown. this matches my cars aftermarket harness.



On the sensors I have the wires are
A-Tan
B-Purple
C-Brown
D-Brown

well now I'm more confused.. the 4 wires to the sensor are IGN power, ground, ecm hi, ecm low.

each wire is routed to its proper pin

the grounds are good to block and battery

I have 12 v at the positive leads when ign is on

The signal wires have continuity to their respective pin
they do not have continuity to ground

the harness appears fine....thoughts?

Bad PCM?

First things first, you need to get the VATS turned off and then troubleshoot if you still have problems. It doesn't make sense that the o2 sensors are causing it to not start unless there is a short in one of the sensors that is bring down other sensor inputs.

I would have to have a short in both, if either sensor is hooked up I get the same effect. I will be taking out vats this week.

Like PD says, get VATS disabled for a start.
