Question: no spark!
Question
I have a 1996 chevy s10 2.2l. I blew a rod and had a guy put a 1995 2.2l motor in it. A 1995 is a obd1 ahd a 1996 is a 0bd11. All the sensors match up execpt the crank shaft position senser. I have no spark what do I need to do to get spark.How can I make this sensor work. A 1995 c.s. sensor is a 2 prong and a 1996 is a 3 prong plug. I spent $900 getting this motor put in and now it wont start I need an easy solution to this problem without taking this motor out and loosing out the money. Dont ever trust a guy your buy "knows" to fix your car! Will the 1996 sensor work if I put it in is this sensor even the problem or is there a bigger problem I am missing?

He told me when the sensor didnt match up that " oh if anything leave the sensor out your check engine light will just stay on!" if I am not mistaken the sensors contact points send a signal to the computer to get spark.so you cant leave it out. if the 96 sensor will fit will it work. or is this a different problem that I am over looking. ( i got the truck back and am trying to fix it myself since I seem to know more than the guy I paid.)I believe the sensors arein the same location. on the side of the block Passenger side. above the oil pan.

Visitor, May 16, 2010, 19:46cant say for sure without seeing it in person. you need to change all from old motor to new. i mean the module with the crank sensor, coils and all sensors.

TechnicianBoth sensors run off a 7x (6+1) signal the 3 wire is a squar wave and 2 wire is a ac signal (sine wave) the 2 wire is the cheaper of the two. From the information I have looks like it should work.
