Re: Running a Northstar on a LS1 PCM.

It runs for a while and then stalls.

If I hold it at 2000 it will run great. If I change the throttle angle rapidly it stalls.

This setup is supposed to have an LS1 MAF sensor. Well I have one. I will need to figure out how to attach it and wire it.

Re: Running a Northstar on a LS1 PCM.

I must be missing the boat here, but what will a LS1 pcm do for our northstars besides give us fuel and spark maps that weren't designed for our motor?

This program in the PCM is built for a NORTHSTAR

This is a Custom High Performance Program built by GM

The LS1 PCM has been hacked into. That PCM and a fully aftermarket tunable program is one way to make a caddy run hard.

Re: Running a Northstar on a LS1 PCM.

I have a few small bugs. I got the rest of the piggyback harness done. I am running two PCM's. I push out a pin in the jumper and had no charging system. I just fixed it. It is insane fast. BTW 158 top speed. I was under the impression it was 200+.
My VSS signal is messed up so 35 mph = 158 in the Shelby PCM, but the stock PCM shifts at the correct speed. after hitting 158 it will cut out

I will be posting more today and tomorrow

Re: Running a Northstar on a LS1 PCM.

I am looking forward to your posts. Do you plan on doing a dyno run once you have all the bugs worked out?

Yes this will take a trip to the dyno.

I have the schematics for the following
Sensor connector terminals
------------- A------------------B
99 Deville -- High (PPL 401)----- Low (YEL 400)
99 Seville -- Low (PPL 401)----- High (YEL 400) This is my car
99 Carmaro -Low (LTGRN/BLK 822)--- High (PPL/WHT 821)
99 Shelby -- Low (LTGRN/BLK 822)--- High (PPL/WHT 821)

I am going to swap the two wires at the Shelby PCM and see if it works
