I put a 2003 3.1 where a 3.4 was.
I put all sensors from 3.4 on 3.1. Also top intake and tb. Do I need to change any of this to make it run?
I also used the 3.1 injectors, with the 3.4 harness.

Good morning,

The 3.1 and 3.4 are the same block. The 3.4 is a little bigger internally than the 3.1 but they are the same and will work fine in the car.

What is the exact issue with the car?

I bought the car not running did the swap and it wouldn't run. I think the crankshaft positions sensor is bad. I never heard the car run before I bought it. I'm going to change it now and I'll let you know.

When you crank the engine, do you get a RPM on the tachometer? That will tell you if the one is working.

The other crank sensor is for the injectors.
