1g cas with 2g crank sensor still ramdom misfire

[stephen p]

so, i've read when using a 1g head on a 2g block, if the 2g crank sensor is used, there won't be any random misfire problems. however i have a 1995 using a 1g head with a green lid 91-92 cas, and the stock 2g crank sensor.. can someone shed some light on this? it runs and drives ok, but when crusing sometimes it will start missing, and i have to turn the key off and on, to get it to stop, and eventually just disconnect the battery, and reset the ecu. i have put a code scanner on, and it's throwing the random misfire code

You mist understood.
You can use a 2g CAM sensor. But Not 1g CAM sensor.
You need a 2g CAM sensor to make it work.
You can use a 2gb CAM Sensor, which is used like the 1g's and it will work perfectly, just swap the plugs like the 1g's.

Get ECMLink..... That should fix your problem.

Or Drill your 1g Head to acept the 2g CAM sensor.

Yea... NO, im pretty sure you can use the 1g sensor just fine, i am about to use the exact set up on my car. Thought i still have a 2g head i am wiring in a 1g CAS.

You WILL get a random misfire code, its just a matter of time. Then your car will go into limp mode. It will suck. Easy fix in dsmlink. Happened to me. Promise.

whats the easy fix in dsmlink that stops the misfire

ECMLink has the tools to manage almost all what you want.

If you have link, you are good (easy fix), But if you are going to buy Link only to get rid of the misfire, you can put a tachrometer and you will save a lot of money.
If you are planning on going crazy or adding power to your car, then go with Link, (tachrometer around $25 vs Link $500).

ECMLink, the best upgrade.

You need the 10K Pot Mod. I had to do this when I put a 1G CAS in my 2G.

The below link tells you how to do it. As well as troubleshooting the random misfire while cruising via the 10K Pot Mod.

Very easy to do. Takes literally like 10 mins.

And to think you(or someone else) could have fixed that with your stock ECU and tuned it for a fraction of the price... .
