trading PCMs
Can you switch a PCM from a 95TA to a 94Z28 just to check and see if the 94 PCM is bad?It stays in closed loop all the time and its throwing a **** load of codes.But will not read any changes in TPS,EGR,timing,and alot of other strange crap.Any help is appreciated.

OBDII was not mandated until 96 model vehicles... some manufacturers went to OBDII earlier than 96, and GM went to an OBDII style plugin in 95 I believe.... but the PCM should be OBDI
As for if the 94 and 95 PCMs are plug and play... I have no first hand experience w/pre LS1 PCMs so not sure on that answer..... but I can say with good certainty 95 was OBDI
as for what will happen if you try to switch them out.... I'm guessing the plug that attach to the PCM wouldn't fit... since OBDII has many more wires than OBDI
But as I mentioned... I don't know if the pinout and/or physical PCM are the same (but I would imagine they are.... 99-02 F-Body's were the same basic hardware/pinouts)

Does anyone know if a bad PCM will make the speed-o off?I checked the code in the glove box and checked the gears and both say I have 3.23's.But the speed-o is like 20 to 25 MPH fast at 70 MPH.I havent had the PCM checked yet I was just wondering if maybe someone else had had this problem?Would there be anyyhing else that might throw off the speed-o-meter?
