I have a '98 chevy that came with a 305 which I later had the dealership change out to a 350 then set the computer for 350. '98 305 has three O-2 sensors and the 350 has four so my computer isn't receiving a reading from the fourth sensor and gives the infamous check engine light preventing me from getting an inspection sticker. I know all the tricks for getting a tag but I want to get this fixed so it's legit. TIA

Not sure if possible? 2 pre and 2 post catalytic converter correct? If so it's about that not the engine.

Go to a junkyard and get a computer from a 350 truck.

So are you saying the computer is expecting input from a fourth sensor, but there is no place to wire it in?? If this is not the case I don't see a computer can give an error code for a sensor it doesn't know exists.

I honestly would go to the dealer and get their opinion on a solution. If they swapped the engine, they should have done the flash over program on the existing computer to prevent the issue.

Put the check engine light on a toggle switch. Aint a 4x4 without at least one toggle!
