Default 98 comp question

Not sure if this goes here but what the hell


Im looking for a 99+ camaro but i might have to settle for a 98, I plan on putting in a new motor/trans after awhile. Can i completely swap the pcm of a 98 for one from a 99 to 02 camaro? that way its like a 99+ in a 98 shell?

Yes you can. If you use EFI Live all you will need to do is swap the wires on the pcm connector and swap the fuel segement in the sofware.

I am in the middle of this right now. Re-pinning the pcm connectors isn't too hard, it just takes a little time. And you have to have efilive or your fuel gauge won't work.

TCS will not work once you do this conversion, if that is a concern

if you pull every wire out of the vehicle, such as the fuel tank, evap system, TCS brain, Dash/airbags.. then it will work just like a 99+ vehicle.

Finding all of the harnesses in good condition is hard to do. 98 has many bastard parts that are different than 99+
