My notes say 41 to 60.so 50 sounds right.If that's what you have,then the wire isn't right. :duh:
You said he connected the Vette PCM to the F-body harness.What year harness.Have the same connectors,or did Oscar put some in.Oscar have the blue wire marked VATS.
Signal may be going to the wrong pin. :tantrum: He said he was going to test mine.Either he's a poor tester or he neglected to do it.It's a mess.I'm still working on it.Can't get anything else done,hope I make Texas in May.
Work's PC took a dump and our MOD's down right now.Hope they get it back up this week.Newest wiring diagrams I have right now are '97.They don't get it back up pretty quick,we might have to get Bandit to help us :eek:
-
Have you hooked a scan tool to it.Should have set a code for VATS,if that's the problem.
I had to redo my charging system,IAT,ECT,A/C,VATS,VSS,EVAP,and am still getting codes and stuff doesn't work.Need edit.
-
No scan tool available. May have to buy one. Waiting to hear from Allen. Going to have him burn me a ECM and cut my losses with Oscar. Oscar is going to have to answer to "THE MAN". The city of Whittier California is going to ride him out on the rail if all of us he screwed call their city hall and inform them what he is doing to customers. They frown on those types. They also said to file a report with the Federal Trade Commission.
The harness is 2001 and the ECM is 2001, also.
-
I've been to their website and the FBI's website also.I'm getting a notebook on him with documentation to fax to the Whittier Police.I kept every e-mail and scrap of paper he sent me.Taking a while to get all this s**t together though.
Anyway,you think the PCM's the problem.I doubt Oscar got into it.
Of course,one of Allen's PCM's sounds pretty good. :thumb:
-
I can get an OTC scan tool right. :point:
You can get a Generic OBD II for less than $150
OTC's are a little more.
-
Allen's or MadZ28's unit should work for my immediate needs. I like the idea of getting Allen's since he is a good ole' Texan. Mad's website says he does customs quite frequently and they are stand alone and don't require a body control module. I will will go with Allen's if his will work that way too. I need mine badly. I miss my truck. Driving the Astro is okay but it's no 10" lifted Victory Red C1500.
We could all hunt Oscar down but can you imagine how many guys there are in Cali named Oscar Juarez!?!?!?!?
-
I figured one of the $45 scanners would give me any codes output by the PCM. I think I have seen them for less at AutoZone. I don't need a scope or anything, just something to pull the codes. Is it still possible to pull the codes the old manual way with the flashing SES light on the dash?
Man, report Oscar to everyone. The dude is going down. Nobody with any scruples would ever hose as many people as he had. I did a web search for Dynatech Motorsports last night and every site about them were nightmare stories. His Ebay feedback is going to hell in a hurry too. LS1PRO is his Ebay user name. Check out the latest feedback.
-
I was driving a Safari while my El Camino was down so I know what you mean.4.3 throttle body.
I was just wondering if Oscar got your wires mixed up in your harness.I had to put some pins back in mine and rewire some of it.Alot of it. :bash:
If he added connectors to your harness.Scan tool would give you the readings and tell you if most of it's right.
-
I was thinking you could get something like an Actron scan tool.It's generic OBD II and reads codes and generic data,clears codes and has freeze frame.You can use it on most OBD II vehicles.Even rice burners.Anyway would give you a lot more info for just double the $45.Probably $90 or $100.Wouldn't pay more than $100.
I see them all the time on e-bay.Next good one I see I'll get you the auction #.You can check it out .
I carry one around in my ride.Something happened I wouldn't be out too much.
I'm going to stay on Oscar. :bash:
-
Good luck getting him to answer the phone.
-
Oscar still won't answer his phone.He answered it immediately for Abbott.He must have a list of people he's screwed right by his caller I.D.Hate to have the job of avoiding people. :drool: Probably wonders who's walking up all the time,having to watch you're back constantly must really suck :grr:
Found another scan tool Greg.Get some pics and description later.Looks like a good one :point:
-
Yeah, come May he will be smart to lock the doors and work inside his strip mall business suite. I hear of three people heading out there on vacation only because they want a face to face with Oscar. They all need to file charges on him for theft of services since he charged for a service and then didn't supply it. I saw on their Ebay listings that they sold a LS1 test engine stand and a complete LS1 engine. Could that be the engine they were supposed to be hooking harnesses to for testing??
-
Probably was,sure as hell didn't test mine :bash:
Wonder if it worked :duh: Probably ripped them folk's off too.
How's that law suit coming :bs: have you been served papers yet :laugh:
-
Yeah, probably me and twenty others who have reported his piss-poor work quality and sorry performance. The internet sure works good to get the word out. So does the Better Business Bureau. If people use the resources at hand there is no way that anyone would do any more business with them.
-
I'm still collecting stuff to file on him.
How'd you find these people.
Oscar's :bash: pissed on me and pissed me off.
Need some other ph.#'s on Dynatech :bash: too,go ahead and piss them off.
-
Hey Greg,
Did you say Dynatech :bash: programmed your PCM.gordfire says Oscar :bash: sent his to Allen.Maybe Alllen knows something about your's :duh:
Should run for more than 2 seconds if VATS is shutting it down.Mine ran for about 20 secs,and any I've ever got to run with no VATS signal ran longer than 2 secs.Have run across a few where people have bypassed the starter.Baker says the signal is right.Does it have ignition fire when it shuts down,cause VATS usually just shuts down the injectors :duh:
:eek: :burnout:
-
I would have to break out my noid light and check if the injectors are still firing. Allen, did you reprogram my PCM for Oscar? Oscar never claimed that someone else did the reprogram of the PCM. Surely if Allen changed the program he verified that it works correctly. I am waiting for Allen to send me a new PCM next week so I can get this thing back on the road.
-
I'm not sure who has a pcm that i did, all I have are vins, send me your vin and I'll check it out.
Oscar has only sent me 5 pcms, all of those pcms only had vats removed. I don't know where they utimately end up, but if I did do one for you I'll take care of you.
Send me those vins and I'll check
thanks for the update on your projects and comments guys,
allen

My harness is as follows, not completely done with it:
LS1 Wiring Harness “Reworked Factory Harness”
-Check Engine Light
-Diagnostic Connector (ALDL and/or OBDII)
-Fuel Pump Relay
-Ignition
-Battery Power-Up
-Connect the send-in units to the following gauges supplied:
oSpeedometer
oTachometer
oWater Temperature
oOil Pressure
oVoltmeter
- Wire for Fan Relay
- wire in Electronic Throttle Control + all hardware including electric throttle body and pedal
I think that's pretty much it actually, a little more straightforward than I thought. I'll be putting the diagnostic connector right into a custom console someday, and be able to allow my laptop to be plugged right into the port, or have allen plug his in for the tuning and such. I plan to run LS1-Live to get some statistics for Allen to program my ECM. :thumb:
