Thanks to all for help in the past, it is appreciated,
I am new at this and yes I have purchased every manual I find for my 1994 c-4 LT-1.
I do have three questions that I am sure are easy for the pro's

1, My engine block number is V0924WHF My VIN number is 1G1YY22P2R5107979 I see no similiarites in the numbers, is the engine number supposed to be patially included in the VIN or this motor a past donor.

2, The transmission has a red casing, is that an original for the 94 LT1 or is that also a donor over the years

3, I have repeatedly tried to program the new remote for the passive door lock (PKE). I have read a hundred articles on how to do it, but something isn't working right. I know the system is acknowledging the remote because the Passive Keyless Entry lamp comes on when the remote is in range, but when I try to program the car. After I push the trip odometer once, then the second time, then when I push the Trip Fuel Information button for ten plus seconds, the Passive Keyless Entry lamp NEVER illuminates constantly indicating it is in the programming mode I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I hate to install an after market passive locking system, I was just hoping someone else has overcome the same situation. Below is the instructions I have been trying to program the system. Thanks again to all for your help. I just hope that some day I can pay-it-forward.

PKE programing instructions
1. Move the transmitters to be programmed 12 to 15 feet away from the car.
2. Turn the ignition to the Run position, engine off.
3. Push the Trip Odometer button once and release (Image B).
4. Push the Trip Odometer button again and hold for five seconds.
5. Within five seconds push and hold the Fuel Information button for 10 seconds, until the Passive Keyless Entry lamp illuminates constantly (Image C).
6. Turn the key to the locked position with the key remaining in the ignition. The Passive Keyless Entry lamp should flash once per second, signaling that the system is ready to program the first transmitter. The number of times the light flashes corresponds to the number of the transmitter you're programming—once per second for the first transmitter, twice per second for the second, and three times per second for the third.
7. Bring the transmitter to be programmed into range.
8. The Passive Keyless Entry light will come on and stay on, signaling that the code has been stored.
9. Move the transmitter out of range. The system light will flash again, demonstrating that the system is ready for the next transmitter.
10. The programming mode can be exited by removing the key from the ignition or by turning the ignition on.

nice looking car!!! Very cool!!!!!

Hm... red cased transmission? they came in natural metal colour from the factory. I wonder if it was powder coated or something. The big difference is the colour of the tag on the transmission. If this was a manual, it would be blue; earlier were black. The black tagged 6spds were made in West Germany, the blue tags in Alabama.

As for the engine/vin... I encountered the same thing. I expected a 2nd set of numbers just off the right side block deck... nada... now, there is a place on the side of the block near the oil filter... check there, if you can.

Can't help with PKE... it's a fussy little beotch.

Yea, nice car.

You can do a disgnostic check by jumping pins 4 & 8 on the ADL connector.

The pinout on the TOP row is;

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

And the PKE diagnostic system works as follows:
With pins 4 and 8 connected, the PKE light in the Driver Info Centre will flash the codes.

Here is the list of DTCs and what they mean:

DTC #12: Receiver Memory Bad
DTC #13: Transmitter Not in Range
DTC #14: Non-Valid Transmitter Received
DTC #15: Valid Transmitter Received
DTC #16: Passenger Door Button Depressed
DTC #17: Hatch Button Depressed


Good Luck

BTW, If you don't have a Factory Service Manual - get one.
It's impossible to work on your car without one.

As far as engine ID, I think this applies to vettes as well as camaros.

Quote:
I have worked on three (92/94/96 ) original Vette LT1 engines.
They have all had the traditional 3 digit SBC engine suffix stamped on the front block pad.
All Vette LT1's had a code beginning with Z ;for '94
ZWA; LT1 w/auto
ZWB: LT1 w/ man

so I suspect with WHF your Vette is not a virgin

V0924 is the production plant / date code

Quote:

This Caprice iron head LT1 doesn't appear to have the partial Vin stamped so maybe GM stopped doing that when they started stamping the rear of the block as shown above ?

Found it
WHF ;
'94 Impala .275Hp .Auto .Ca emissions

Your engine doesn't have cast iron heads does it?

I will check the heads today, but I did find this code information that I hope someone else might need. Now all I need is to find out where the red transmission came from.
take care

Only the corvette LT1 came with 4 bolt mains... all others had 2 bolt mains. All LT4s had 4 bolt mains.

From what information I have, the engine stamping with a "Z" were from 1965 thru 1993 all 1994 blocks were stamped with a "W" WCB, WCC, WHD, WHF, WTA, WTB, WTC, WTD.
FYI I did receive an e-mail from a transmission specialist that informed me that GM never offered a RED transmission case. He did state that it implies the trans was rebuilt as many rebuilders repaint the cases to there liking and for a clean appearance.
