Re: V8 is now in but i have a code 43

Makes sense to me.

Would this code also cause poor performance?

An engine compression test shows 170-175psi in each cylinder but it just down't have the UMPHH I was expecting over the stock 200hp V6.

Sounds damn cool though :guitar:

Re: V8 is now in but i have a code 43

The knock sensor is original to the 88 5.7L engine

Maybe i need the knock sensor from a 95 engine?

Re: V8 swap questions - CPI to TBI in a 95

Yup dropped the tank and installed a tbi pump.

Finally got all the wiring wrapped up last night and everything is working great.

Just need to set the timing now... it seems to be lacking power.

Anyone know if you can use the aldl port to tune the engine and trans?

Re: V8 swap questions - CPI to TBI in a 95

Yup only 1 knock sensor is hooked up, it's the OEM from the truck.

The 4.3 still has all of its sensors in it.

Re: V8 swap questions - CPI to TBI in a 95

A- I have tried running a wire directly from the injector (green wire) to pin A9 with the same result. B- Pretty sure I have it in A9 but i don't have a pinout or a plug diagram to verify. I have it in the "top" plug (short wire) on the clip side 9 pins down. C - The white wire and red wir...
