Default finished my motor install

Well guys I built a lq9 6.0 with ls3 top end, 92mm throttle body, g5x2 cam, 42lb injectors ls2 timing chain, ls6 oil pump, ls7 lifters. I was on a budget and didn't have the heads ported or polish.

Installed it over the weekend drove it Sunday and had it tuned Monday. Today driving home from work the tach stopped working. Do you guys think its a ground wire maybe I forgot?

Check your connections at the computer and in the passenger side kick panel.

Thanks chad now that you said check the passenger side kick panel. I remember pulling a little hard on the wire harness going into the firewall from the outside by the computer.

I will be finally having my motor installed this weekend also Dave. Almost the exact same build except cam(G6x3) and Ls2 block. See you on the streets soon in my rear view mirror.

I have a few bugs to work out. The tach stopped working but works on my snap on scanner. Plus I'm getting a p0343 cam sensor volts high. I thought I fixed the problem the other day but didn't.
