Hi everyone i,ve have a problem with my car,i ave just changed my engine fromma doner car everything runs fine on sart up except the eml stays on. once the engine is warm it has no power and won't rev past 2500 rpm. I hav e changed the maf sensor and the icv, does anyone have a idea of what the problem might be? all responses greatly appreciated.

what work have you done/ parts replaced?

[000jonboy]

as above, complete engine change new plugs maf sensor and icv engine ran fine on doner car

[tidla]

im not into the techie side, sounds like its in limp mode, on the 2.0 motors the cam sensor causes the same thing.

It will be the crankshaft sensor. What was the year of the donor car? Did you use the ecu from your car or the donor car?

[000jonboy]

i kept same ecu on car for engine,i did think that it might be a crank or cam sensor. but why did it run ok while still ondoner car all wires are connected.

[tidla]

if the wires are nicely cooked, the jiggin around of engine fitment might have finished them off.

[000jonboy]

didn't smell any burning of wires only oily smell which is normall after changing a engine

The codes are easier to understand if you watch the video clip that accompanies the instructions.

Have the plug leads been taken off during engine swap? or maybe the flow and return fuel lines are mixed up?
