How can I tell if it is a VVT motor or not? I would like to keep this function but I am having no luck so far.

Thanks for the info and again you are doing a sweet job on the engine bay. Very well thought out.

1) the pulley set-up we went with is kinda a hybrid.....the low mount alt is for a f-body (98-02 camaro/ firebird)... the power steering pump is for a GTO (we're going with a nice looking power-steering resiovor) the GTO style pump is easier to 'adapt' the aluminum (better looking) resiovor to.....the cost for the accy. stuff with the brackets, pullies, and hardware was around 1100$ shipped (that includes new alt, PS pump, water pump and A/C compressor)
its all GM stuff too......we got it from scoggin- dickeys parts

2) the sensor you're talkin about is the map sensor, i see in your thread how you have it taken off to clear the recess in the firewall.. a simple fix for you that may work, is turn it around (so the pulg is faceing forward)...... but, no, i did not have this problem, in 05 they used a diffrent intake design, that located the map sensor more forward on the intake (you may have a late design 04, early model 05 engine/intake)...here is a pic of that intake (the sensor with the masking tape on it, is the MAP sensor, about 2" forward of the fuel rail crossover)




3) in 05 they didnt have the VVT engine.... the VVT (variable valve timing) engine has a cam phaser on the front engine cover that addvances or retards the cam on the fly..... it does this for either gas mileage or for power, pending on where your foot is on the gas pedal

in 05 they did have a DOD (displacement on demand) engine.....there is a few ways to tell if you have a DOD engine
1) the cam position sensor is in the front engine cover ( instead of the back of the engine by the oil presser sesnsor)
2) if the valley cover has isnt flat, and looks like a valve body of a tranny(see #2 pic above)
3) what style of computer you have, if its a E40 with a seperate transmission control module, then you may have a DOD engine...
4) if the MAP sesnor is in the front of the intake
