Default problems starting

Hi Guys:
I just finish installing the P1SC-1 supercharger on a 2000 vette with the cam kit from epp.The vette has an LS2 engine. The reluctor wheel is 24 teeth same as the LS1 engine. I am using a Ls2 timing chain and sprockets. All of the wiring adapter were checked. I am having problems when starting up. it takes 5 or 6 times to start up and it misfires. I ran a check with a scanner and it reads low voltage cam sensor.Once the engine is on there are no more problems. What can I do fix this?

What year LS2 timing gear? 2005 or up? What does the gear look like, you need a 1X.

1X is "C", and 4X is "B"

If you are positive you have the correct gear, then check out the wiring with a meter. I assume you used an adapter harness for the LS2 conversion, if so, they have been known to be pinned up incorrectly. So check each wire for position and color to the camshaft sensor.

Thanks for the charts. Problem fixed. The wiring of the cam sensor harness from racetronix was not correct. You are the man.
