Info needed on ecu by Pastore with an external map sensor
Gentz,
I need to swap an ecu into an S6 that has been modified evidently by Robert Pastore with an extermal map sensor.
The ECU going in has a VMAP, and I need to know how to return the S6's
ecu harness to stock. Is it as simple as clipping the cables to the map sensor or is it more involved than that?
Anyone know?
Thanks
Chris

Unfortunately this map sensor is wired into the ECU harness NOT the ECU
The map sensor is loose next to where the ECU
would reside with a cable running into the ECU harness's connector.

Okay then I would guess that they have used some empty pin positions in the harness side connector
which they picked up on the inside of the ECU box. Your new ECU will not have the ECU-side connectors and therefore, the signal will not reach the ECU. Just install the new ECU and leave the GM Map dangling (disconnected from power, etc).

on mine the pins on the ecu connector were clipped internally
and three new pins were pushed into the connector which came out the back of the harness connector and ran to the external map. To convert the car back to internal I opened up the ecu, soldered the harness pins back together, installed vmap, and left the external map connection disconnected. worked fine.
