Thread: New Updates! After swapping 98 gp gtp 3.8 s.c. into a 2002 gp se car

Thats odd.

Oh ya tell me about it, also running live data with my scanner its showing 1 mph less than my speedo if that even means anything.
Whats your opinion about getting a 2002 pcm, engine harness, and fuse relay center?
My local pull & save has a 2002 gt with a 3.8 n.a.

Id keep the same pcm, a gt pcm would have more runing issues. Id go for the rest tho. Youll need to add the plug for the bbc solenoid, otherwise you wont have trac control. Whats the rpo code for your cars transmission?

Theres the issue. If you can find a 2000-01 lumina at the jy they have 2.93s

Tranny code fr2

Call me stupid if you want but i thought the 2.93 was in the diff
if not, exactly where are they, maybe i could check those to see what kind of shape they are in on the trans that was on the s.c. engine

BTW i appreciate all your help so far at least i know i will get somewhere soon.

Unsure of what all you have to change inside the tranny. And the mag steer is unimportannt (i actually have a mag rack from an 01 regal in my 97 monte without the magsteer connected). One steering uprade for ur car is a rack from a 00-05 monte, 13.2: ratio.

And no prob

My cars pcm has 2.93 gears programmed and the tranny has 3.29s in it. It does all kinds of retarded stuff with the cel off lol

I have a low mile magnastear in my other gp to put in but i overlooked it and did not notice this did not have until after i installed the engine and went to hook up the plug for it.

Bet it does after seeing what mine is doing.

Is it a 98+ or a 97 and earlier rack?

Actually the rack is out of a 99 gp that had 76,000 miles on it

Ok. Should you have trouble plugging it in you can leave it unplugged as irs a gen 2 (98+) its 97 and earlier thats hard to ateer unplugged

Oh and if you think your eng/trans is mixed up: my car, 02 grand am 3.4, 99 gp injecters, 2000 lumina pcm and harness, 01 monte ss fr9 4t65, 06 g6 starter, 98 z34 pcm tray in a 97 monte lol

its not in the car yet, the one in the car does not have it

Yeah mag steer wont work correctly till abs is working as it takes info from the wss.

Ya i realize that i just didnt know if it affected the abs system i thought i saw somewhere that its works with the abs and traction control circuit.
