New to me 95 gsx

[Atlantian]

I recently bought a 95 gsx. I am having issues with it starting. Its cranking over, got spark and fuel. Although I have no info on it but it has been rebuilt. Also the cam angle sensor is on the passenger side of the head instead of riding on the inside of the cam gear. Will that throw the ECU readings off or does it not matter?? Is it possible to see what year ECU I have?Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

I believe that will throw the ECU off, someone will correct me it thats the case. Does it catch at all? or just turning over ....and over

Yea it just keeps cranking over and over again. I figured the cam angle sensor out of place was bad but I’m not even sure if it’s a 95 ECU.All the kid new that I bought it from was the engine had been rebuilt or replaced.

Clarify riding on the inside. You said cas is on passenger side but you statement says youre talking about something else

Sorry I mean its supposed to be on the driver side of the head right behind the cam gear, reading the Reluctor on a 95-96 head. Whoever built it last may have mixed and matched wrong year parts and the cas is on the passenger side of this head reading off the end of the camshaft, which I believe it’s like on the 89-94 & 97-99 year dam’s. I was just curious to see if it didn’t matter to the ECU which/where the cam angle sensor is on the head and also how it reads??

I’m pretty sure it’s alwsys on the passenger side. My 6 bolt motor it’s on passenger and my 95 and 98 motor also on passenger side

The factory 95-96 CAS is on the inside cam gear. However some people mod it to use a 1g CAS on the passenger side and then change the wiring: http://www.roadraceengineering.com/1gcasin2g95-96M2.htm.

Wow, cool thank you very much. I will check my wiring and make sure it’s correct.

You for sure have a 97-99 cam sensor.

if you have a 95 ecu with 97-99 cam sensor, wouldn't you need to swap the plug wires?

 

[Atlantian]

Yea I know just was seeing if the cas being from a 97-99 would be compatible with a 95 ECU.. thank you everyone for the valuable information! I’m glad there is a site like this.
