n-guerra, I replaced crank and cam sensor, now have 12v at sensors. Schematics are from links on this site and they are complete GM schematics for 03 Silverado 3500, in color even. I'm using this in conjunction with chart on LT1 Swap site on what wires to remove for a harness to run the motor only. Now could the positive 12v be knocked down to 5 by a -5v low ref out of the pcm? If so, then maybe u r on to something. Maybe this feature in the pcm is not working. I still have the 04 Escalade pcm with factory programming. Would it hurt anything to connect this one just to see if it would run it for a few seconds. I know the vats would turn it off.
I have fire all the way round now and noid is lighting on all injectors. Took fuel rail and injectors off last nite and tapped them with 12v. All were spraying plenty of fuel that was still in the rails.
Vortecyota - I'm in eastern N. Carolina. at least for now, if my wife doesn't kick me out
