Swaping engine and trans from top ( first timer)

[steelholder]

im looking to get this cheapie, does this fit my needs? what are the differences with this one and the pricier ones?

that will do the trick. even says it reads some live data.

[steelholder]

ok here are the codes p0418(came up twice) p0302(again, came up twice) p0463 came up twice

Air pump code, cylinder 2 misfire and a fuel level sensor code.

I'd focus on the misfire problem if it's still present first, then address the others. Clear the codes and see if the misfire comes back for cylinder 2.

http://www.autocodes.com/p0418.html somethings up witht he air pump, check all the plugs to it.

http://www.obd-codes.com/p0463 fuel level sender, but we knew about this one already.

http://www.obd-codes.com/p0302 misfire on cylinder #2 i called that one.

the 302 code was the same from the last engine ill try clearing it and seeing if it comes back. will it immediately show up again if it is a real misfire?

[Scottydoggs]

take one of your coils off your old engine swap it with the coil for cylinder 2. see if it runs better, if it dont change the plug wire with a old one. if that dont clear it up, pull the spark plug and swap it with a old one from the old engine.

if none of that fixes it, your swapping the injector next.

[Scottydoggs]

you said you had the fuel level sensor code before it blew up, not a misfire code.

[steelholder]

i did have that misfire before i put this one in, i had p0220 p0302 p0420 and p0463 these were the codes i pulled right before taking it out.

[Scottydoggs]

your using the new engines fuel rail and injectors, the coils and the icm under it too? new plugs and wires?

i think you got a injector wire issue. pull #2 plug and see what it looks like, maybe its getting no gas.

[steelholder]

coils and icm are coming from old engine, fuel rails are from the newer one and sparks plugs and wires i just bought.

[Scottydoggs]

time to head back to the junk yard for a coil and maybe even a icm. those are the only old things left.

[steelholder]

i havent cleared the codes and ran it again yet let me try that first

[Scottydoggs]

the misfire will come back asap. you can hear it when its running.

the tps code could be the gas pedal or the tps on the tb. air pump im guessing you left it unplugged maybe.

yup you're right it came back along with 418 and 463, do i need to buy the whole thing (icm) or just the circle that 2 is on(not even sure that made sense)
when you said to check injector plug 2 you meant the one that connects to fuel rail right? what am i looking for when i pull it out? Are the fuel line plugs in the same order as the spark plugs?

[steelholder]

not sure if this matters but idle is rough and it gets a bit rougher til about 1300 rpm then smooths out perfectly

[Scottydoggs]

injector are in the fuel rail you unplugged them and plugged em back in, the wires for the injector could be damaged.

one coil fires two plugs, any coil will work it need not say #2 on it. if the icm is cheap take it too. yours could be bad.

what you can do now tho is swap the coil with the one next to it, swap the plugs so they are in the same place after the coil swap. see if the misfire moves, then you know its just a coil.

[Scottydoggs]

and if that #2 plug is not firing, it will be wet with gas when you take it out.

ill be doing this first thing tmrw morning

huh i would thought it was supposed to have gas all over it, i remember gas spilling out when i removed the old fuel rail from the line. Ill make sure that its dry.

The spark plug is not suppose to have fuel on it is what he is saying.
