I was going to install the 2.4 throttle body on my 2.2 today and do the Trifecta tune. I ran into a problem. The 2.2 TB has a 6 pin plug assembly and the 2.4 has an 8 pin assembly.

Does anyone know how to wire it.

The best thing would be a female to female adaptor so I could quickly change back and forth and there would be no wiring involved.

Please Help!!! Thanks in advance guys.

 

huh.. bump for an answer.

 

look around theres a thread about this somewhere

 

I think I would like a Female to Male adaptor.

 

na lesbians are better

 

what year r u

 

My car is a 2008 HHR with the 2.2 and I think the Throttle Body I got is a 2007?

 

Yikes yea i heard they were differant...did u do any research before you did this...we all make mistakes

 

I checked on this forum and some have done it. I talked to Vince before I ordered the throttle body to make sure he could do the tune so we should be all good.

Problem is NOTHING goes right seems like.

I may have to keep the 2.2 TB and do a tune for it instead. Unless two of those pins on the 2.4 TB are not used for anything and I can get an adaptor.

 

where did u get the throttle body and for how much cuz if it fits an 05 i might be able to take it off ur hands haha

 

Find out if you have a 6 pin or 8 pin plug on your TB.

 

just ask vince he knows how to do all that stuff

 

by the way man you don't need to put a title for every post you make. lol

 

well its dark right now and cold so i didnt feel like getting it off right now but i looked at it and i have 8 wires going into it so %99 sure its a 8 prong make sense right?

 

I think if you have 8 wires then it should be a simple install and of course you would have to tune it for the larger TB. PM me on it.

Vince can help me with the program but I have to put the TB in there and it wont work with 8 pins on the TB and only 6 on my harness. Those two other pins go to something and the harness wont fit.
It appears I am going to have to find a 6 pin 2.4 TB (Do they make them?) or tune for the 2.2 TB.

 

dude im sure you can find one with the 6 just find a later model balt they are called sport models instead of ss now haha stupid GMers personally i think ur only gonna find luck with the dealer and we all know they are goona rape you well maybe!!! but i will def get that off ur hands let me get some money together ok

 

the year makes the difference, 06-07 2.2s and 2.4s share a connector, but I believe in 08 they changed it.

 

its a simple re-wiring. On the 8 pin, there are 2 low reference wires, and 2 5 volt reference wires. On the 6 pin, these wires are combined so there is only 1 of each instead. If you want to make a 6 pin connector, just combine them on your 8 pin connector (combine pin B and G, and combine pin C and H). If you want to make your 6 pin connector an 8 pin connector, just split the wires (i dont have the wiring diagrams for the 6 pin connector, so i dont know which ones to split)

 

I already made a thread about this https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-2l-l61-performance-tech-45/lsj-throttle-body-l61-157541/

 

or you could just do a little research for compatibility before buying random parts, I had to do the same thing because sometimes one year TB will be cheaper than another. mine uses the E67, so any 06-07 2.4 TB will work, but cobalts used two or three ECUs between the two engines and three years, complicating things greatly.

 

the E37 was the 07-08, not 06-07. the E16a was used for 05-06

 

my car is not a cobalt, on ions we had the E16 03-04, E37 05-06, and E67 07 2.2s and all 2.4s.

 

I had done some research but I did not know that there were different wiring.

Anyway Vince at Trifecta does not have the plug for it but he is helping me get it running. Great service from Trifecta and I am very impressed.
