Ok heres the scoop back in November the engine in my car was ready to go so I swapped engines. Right from the get go I had a ton of problems transaxles, throttle body.. yadda yadda. So as of late I've been fixing all this stuff.. new transaxles, throttle body which replaced the TPS sensor and the MAP sensor and as of late I replaced the distributor with a known one to work because my car was throwing a Code 4 which when I'm driving down the road it starts to have seizures really bad .. it'll shake so bad that as of late I prefer not to drive it cause it hurts my back. Anyways the problem is that I'm throwing a Code 4 in my car which most of you know and if not can look at a chart and see its the CKP sensor in the distributor. So because I replaced the distributor with a good one I still get the same error and the same stuff happening. anyone have any ideas?

I also noticed that on some charts it says that a Code 4 could be a vacuum leak.. but it don't say where

After sitting in my car for like 20 minutes watching my CEL light blink and get the codes after like 50 codes going by of code 4 .. code 3 showed up.. O2 Sensor needs replacing

hang in there man, I got a motor swap a few months ago and am dealing with problems too, not as bad as you, but my distributor did need to be replaced

man you guys are getting me nervous.. i hope once my swap is done i have no problems.. i just want a good running engine... argh.. i'm soo nervous to start it up... kinda off topic but what do you guys know about altech and there swaps.. i heard that they do good swaps but they have electrical problems.. i'm planning on getting my wiring harness converted with them from dpfi to mpfi and add the knock sensor and vtech and so on.. a friend of mine said that his buddy who did a swap has been going in and out for a year.. i found that hard to believe because i heard many good things about them.. they seem like an awsome company and joe is a nice guy.. are they my best bet for wiring?

if you want your swap done mint with a warrenty and the works then go to altech... they do charge a bit more but they do damn nice work

well i'm doing the swap myself i just nee dthe elctrical done.. i'm halfway there... im just waiting to get a water pump then the engien shuold be in the car hopefully by the end of the week... jsut worried about the wiring

punkindrublic

well i'd say the wiring is the easy part... but i've seen a few engines they've done and the wiring is really clean and tidy

Gunmetalef

i don't see how its that easy... i'm not really good with that... adding two fuel injectors sensore vtec and pins in the plug for ecu.. i rather pay 300 and have it done.. it doesn't sound that hard but i'm not that freat with electrical. the only problem is getting it down there and back.. but i think i have that figured out

well turns I was wrong.. I'm throwing a code 3 and 4 .. which is Map Sensor and CKP sensor

I'm also gonna bleed out my system tomorrow to make sure there isn't any air in it.
