I was not sure if I just wanted to wire straight to EFILive or go thru EGR wiring. It looks like the EGR might be the best way. My car is a 2001 without EGR.:beer:Quote:

Yeah Bill, I was thinking of that when I left off last- 2001 no egr.(Busy putting in my motor right now) No worries. You can still run the wires from the pcm it'self. The EGR option is the easiest to take advantage of a power supply and voltmeter on a system that is not used on your car.

Is the wiring harness already wired for the EGR or will I need the pins and wiring? What size pins are in the PCM connector? I have not looked at the PCM yet.Quote:

Just got the sender and harness in. My wires are different collors than what is in the tutorial. I have a purple and a black and gray. The purple should be the 0-5vdc signal. I assume the black is ground and the gray is +5vdc. Does that sound right?
Thanks,
Bill

I got this wired up to my EGR PCM pins. Thanks DOC for your help and PCM pins. It is working great now. My Fuel Pressure is running about 60 at idle.
Thanks everyone for the help.

Anyone does this with Australian cars?
I have it working fine on mine.Quote:

You have to add the wires for the EGR output to be used.So yes they are vacant.Quote:

I've had no issues using this method.
All the holdens with LS1's i have done, i make up a harness & plug it in to the egr pins on the pcm ,turn on the egr (B1301) load the cal pids and start loging
The auto meter sender looking at the plug is wired
earth pin A .......power 5 volt pin B
............output pin C
Thanks for that info Geoff
Im just waiting on some more pins. But when i checked my pcm harness one of the pins i thought that was for EGR was used. What are the pins again?

It works great. It saves buying another gauge.

I just logged mine at the track with 155 dry shot of Nitrous. The FP went down slowly as rpms build to as low as 39psi :), it drops smoothly under any load. My car would have a bit over 600rwhp with a shot that size.
I just picked up the 2246 sensor and a TPS sensor pigtail and was wondering if I have the pins labeled correctly for the sensor in the below pic. Thanks

yes that,s right
Cool, thanks.
thanks for the write up...
my efilive v1 should arrive today and I have this mod installed and ready to log...
Welcome to the forum Superado.
thanks for the welcome!
i spoke too soon, however...
both the egr & the sender have different color wires than the wiring instructions...
sender has black, grey & blue
egr has brown, red, grey, purple & white
any suggestions?
thanks,
al

I have just found the egr harness info for the truck...thanks to cablebandit
from the gm dvd info on the egr harness,
brown 0-5
grey +5vdc
purple gnd
the pin config. of my sender...
http://shed51.com/sensors.htm
which is the same as the AutoMeter fp sender's configuration:
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...atm2246-po.jpg
and the pic of my sender pigtail below,
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...rado/gpi-1.jpg
we have come up with this...
sender/pigtail to egr harness
Blk (gnd) to purple (gnd)
Grey (+5vdc)to grey (+5vdc)
Blue (0-5) to brown (0-5)
Good find. Sorry I wasn't able to get back to you sooner.
thanks for the reply yesterday...Quote:

OK...someone on LS1TECH caught this before you guys...
I was looking at the plug end of the pigtail the same as the sender's pin out, which is incorrect because it is actually a mirror of the sender...
The CORRECT connections are:
sender/pigtail to egr harness
Grey (gnd) to purple (gnd)
Blk (+5vdc)to grey (+5vdc)
Blue (0-5 signal) to brown (0-5 signal)
it works!
and logs!
question...
now that I have the egr reading fp...how do I turn off the SES light due to egr?
thanks
Set P0400 - P0405 to "Not Reported" and "NO MIL"
Thanks!

I'm having problem sourcing the -4an female to 1/8 npt female adapter fitting mention in the tutorial. Any help appreciated.
got mine from the local Hydraulic SupplyQuote:

No leaks.
IIRC it is 1/2" to 1/8"npt

Everthing I come across in female 'an' is swivel.
Edit:
Found something but is of 2pc -
-4AN female to 1/8 npt male adapter -- Russel #614204 or Earl's #916104
1/8 npt female coupler -- Russel #661440 or Earl's #991001
Came across 1pc design:

way old post but im wondering if you can hook this up to work through the egr on my truck. it is a 2000 k-series and i am running the 411 pcm swap on cos3. would be using an AEM fp guage.
If you can log voltage through the EGR and you can get the slope & intercept to convert
voltage to FP, then yes.
Can anyone see why this sensor wouldn't work instead of the autometer 2246.
(J.C. (240)P399AAC-1C PRESSURE TRANSDUCER O TO 100 PS1S) can be found on ebay for less than $60 and bolts directly to the schrader valve port without removing the valve - no need for adapters. Its advertised as being designed for measuring refrigerant pressure but the literature says it can be used with any non corrosive fluids.
Here are the specs
http://www.vikingcontrols.com/_docum...uct/125515.PDF
Do most people permanently install their sensor or remove it after they are finished logging fuel pressure?
Looks like the 1/4 in. SAE one might be correct. From my reading this seems to be that same as -4an (though I wouldn't trust me on this entirely).
When I had my LS1 I had the sensor installed permanently. Remember, just because it's there doesn't mean you have to log it all the time if you don't want/need to.
