Hi guys,
Apologies if this was mentioned out here...I've been searching and looking my butt off...but didn't really find something that fits our problem.
My buddy and I just did a cam swap on an LS1 from 2000 GTO...pretty healthy one at that.
It was stock and the timing gear and chain were also replaced (90K miles). The original chain was really sloppy. It was a tuned engine (headers and no real other go fast parts) but does have a corvette pan etc. Nothing crazy at all...
The swap went off without a hitch however we were worried about the potential timing and the crank sensor position due to the originally lose chain. The new chain and gears have really no slop, as expected. Tight timing! Good stuff...
When trying to start this thing...it popped a few times, kinda back fired a couple but would never fire up.
I have HPtuners in hand and have read many threads about the case relearn...the only caveat...this engine is in a different car, no anti-theft stuff, no smart key, just a normal key...all plain jane wiring and a stock GTO ecu (I don't know which one actually - waiting to hear back from my buddy). If that makes any difference...
I am not a tuner by any means but do play with my own racecar stuff...we're very curious as to how to get it to at least fire up and then take it to a tuner (they are backed up for 3 weeks).
I read that HPtuners can easily do this...now we're looking for the how-to!
Thanks
