Is there a computer that controls the transmission? a sensor that mite need to be replaced?

thanks (in advance)

Anyone have any advise on what to look into??

Would this be something sensor related or mechanical?
maybe dropping the transaxle pan for a new filter and fresh atf?

No, you'll need the mounting bracket from a 92-93 Series I with the Delco setup.

S2 = Series II; 96-03 Supercharged, 95-03 N/A.

It could be. The problem with the old OBD I setup is that the codes are extremely vague.

Are there any ways to identify the brackets visually?

I have coil packs ...

The ICM and coils from the LeSabre should work, but you'll need the older bracket, from what I can tell. If you can find a supercharged car with blue tabs on the bottom of the coils (any S2 S/C), they have the best spark of any 3800 coil.
Dont I already have the old bracket?

S2?

Is it likely the ...

after some searching on here with no luck, whats a year range/models for the good Delco setup?

found a 97 LeSabre that had a crapped out transmission being parted out..

Yes the car will run with the cam sensor unplugged.. Might not run very good but it will run... The cam sensor is strictly for the ECM to see #1 TDC... The ECM then makes the SFI calculations...

For everyone... I know all the Books say MFI .... All 3800 engine made are all SFI regardless of what ...

update....

ICM/coil issues?

I'm going to grab a newer delco ICM soon and do the upgrade/swap..

Is it normal for the car to even run with the cam sensor unplugged?

In my experiences, I seem to always have more than one thing happen to any engine at the exact same time..
and 9 times out of 10, its usually something super simple or dumb.. lol

Here's what I did today..

Removed the new Autozone camshaft position sensor, replaced it with the original one..
I saw no contact marks on the camshaft sensor.. (used a little grease on the magnet)

no change..

then I left the sensor unplugged, fired it up..

no change..

The new camshaft ...

if the camshaft is walking, there's nothing more I can you do it other than a complete rebuild..

can't really do anything other than spacing the sensor out a few mm's..

so with a code 41, I replaced everything involved with a code 41..
unless I got a bad outer can sensor

Icm?

either tomorrow or the next day I'll run the codes to see if they are the same just to double check.

got everything buttoned up, replaced the sensor that plugs the hole while I was at it..
let it dry (jb weld on disruptor) for about 2 days (sorta cold) replaced the water pump,
put on a fresh drive belt and today I filled the coolant system up and its still running rough, codes 12 and 41..

I ...

I'm in the process of messing with that cam interrupter replacement so it'll run again and while using the mirror, I noticed the water pump leaking from its weap hole.

Is this just as simple as it looks, undo all the bolts that are in plain sight and pop it off?
thanks..
