now if said to check for injector pulse id tell ya to use a noid light
That is why I said PCM circuit. I don't want to see people using a test light for something they shouldn't.


btw, they have power.

Sounds like a possible VATS issue. Turn the VATS off and reflash it. If that works you will need to relink your VATS if you want it on.

The GTO computer probably wont work. You will have the VATS issue as well as a crank postion signal problem. I believe the 04 GTOs have the later model reluctor wheel on the crank.

If it was a VATS issue would it even crank?

If my PCM is bad, can I use any 99-02 Fbody PCM's?

Tonight I'm gonna try to unplug my buddy's 04 GTO PCM and plug mine in and see if his car fires with my PCM....I'd really like to try this on a Fbody but I wasnt sure if I can do this on anything besides an 02 M6 car?
I don't think the 04 gto cpu's have the same pin out's as the 99-02 camaro computers

the GTO will use a green/blue pcm, not a red/blue pcm, the pinout is probably close, but the keys in the wire harness will prevent you from connecting the green/red connector together.

this may or may not be helpful. A few years back when i did my first ls engine pull out(wrecked car, section front end) i put everything back in and i had the same problem. Turned out to be a very small ground wire on the upper radiator support by the air box. I would just check to see if that is hooked up and has good ground. It is small enough to be easily overlooked.

Log shows vitals such as ect, iat, etc. No RPM, no crank signal, no cam signal. No errors from the either. no codes.

PCM is good, tried it on another car.

I think he is going to take the harness out and check for an open/short.
