NEED ANSWERS: Wiring Pinout questions*!*! I'm doing a 3.8L to LS1 swap in my 2000 camaro. I'm using a 99 ls1, ECM and wiring harness.
I don't want to change the whole dash and relay harness with a 99 ls1 so i need to re pin the 5 main connectors (blue and white under dash and big 3 plugs on passenger strut tower) right?
Ok so I need to make sure i know what I'm doing before i cut up all my wires...obviously
Is this what i need to be doing: basically im just going to swap the spots that the pins are in on the plugs on the end of the dash harness and the end of the front harness to match the pins on the pcm and engine harness???/ right???
And also if this is correct im need to know what the wires are on the dash and front harness of a 2000 camaro 3.8L and also what all do i need to actually re pin these plugs (ie tools, where to cut the wires, etc)
So if anybody wants to help someone who is somewhat lost and has done this before that would be awesome and really appreciated
Thanks in advance

Also another easy question is what wires do i hook up to the starter and to what posts
Do you hook the positive cable to post on the solenoid that doesnt have the little black wire on it and the little blue/purple wire on the engine wiring harness to the small post?
and then where does the wire that comes from the negative battery cable down to the starter area?
once again any help is appreciated

If I was back home I could get you your pinout diagrams for the 3.8l and your new Harness.. If you get the chance, go to GM and see if they can give you that printout, they have the All Data program that has that.

Ok a little update....it will start and run very badly if you hold the throttle about half way open but dies once you let off the gas. Also it smoke really badly on the driver side exhaust. It look like it is just coming out of the headers but im not for sure. I know im getting good spark now and air is fine too but not 100% sure on fuel....how can i check to see if its getting enough fuel? And I still need the wiring stuff because im convinced it has something to do with that since it just wont run with out you messing with the throttle and my headlights and courtesy lights are always on...along with some stuff that shows up on the instrument panel. And im not sure about the smoke either...its only on one side and i dont think i spilled any fluids on it when i was filling the motor up
help please
help please
