  • Temp sensor swap, 96 3100 to 95 Grand prix

    So, I have found a 96 3100 for my 95 Grand Prix (haven't bought it yet) and was told that not only would I have to swap the plenum for the EGR valve, but the temp sensor wiring is also different, so what would it take to change the single '96 temp sensor to the double '95 temp sensors?

    It's easier to change your double to a single sensor.

    Use the 96 3-wire temp sensor in the new motor. Wire in your single green wire from the old sensor in the rear head to the 3-wire sensor in the lower intake.

    http://3x00swap.com/ check the download for the 3400 swap document, it will show the pin out.

      well, I did find a 95 3100 out of another GP, it's going to cost me more, but less headaches that way. However, thanks for that link, that alone is a very handy read and gives me an idea for future projects... though if I do this again I'll try a 3800... yeah right :P

          if I had the time and money, I certainly would, but this current project is going to hurt my savings as it is... besides, if I'm gonna do a 3800 in anything, it'll go in my Fiero

              The 96 motor would not take more than 10mins extra of work to put in :P
