I have been scouring this forum and I still have a few questions. Some of the posts are very helpful but rather old. I have a early (May) 1996 with a 4.0 that I have transplanted a (April) 1995 4.0 into. Now the reason I used a 95 was originally because of the transmission. On thing lead to another and I am using the whole drive train. It is becoming apparent one of the issues I missed was this CPS. Now the 95 engine has a 3 wire CPS but of a different style then the 96. I swapped plugs in hopes that would be enough. WRONG, now I have a CEL code 0340. I know my connections are good and the donor ran really well before the swap. I will be double checking my electrical work. I am thinking it is that the 'puter isn't recognizing the 95 sensor. Am I correct in this? I have seen a post in which the whole shootin match is compared physically (wish I knew how to attach to that thread here) and want to be sure that I will be able to install the 96 CPS and shaft in to the 95. I am really looking for conformation, tips or a definite " no can do" from someone who has done this. Thanks in advance. This Forum has been a truck saver.
