95 2.2 swaped in to 97

So my wifes 1997 cavalier 2.2 ohv motor went bad so i found a 95 2.2 and put it in but saw that it has no place for a cam sensor, there is also another sensor on the back of the motor im not really shore what it is, but the 97 is bigger so it wont thread in either, and car is not getting fire now, Is that cause the cam sensor is not hooked up? And if so can i just get a 95 computer And plug it in since it does not use a cam sensor, Any info helps thanks

Im not quite sure of what your problem is. With the 2.4 the cam sensor is only used for sequential fuel injection. Without it it runs in batch fire mode like the 95 and older cars. Id assume the 2.2s are the same. It will throw a code so youll need a MSD cam sync generator...its made for a saturn but works on our cavys. It replaces the signal your cam sensor would have. I do know with certainty that the 95 computer will not just plug and play.

It is actually. 95 is an obd1 car.




Your car may do 13 sec @ 103 mph, but my car does 146db @ 35 hz.
