ZE swap done!! Have a couple question.
So I finally got the ze sawp all done. I've missed my car so much these last 2 months. But I have a couple questions, so if anyone could help that would be sweet. So my check engine light is on, but nothing seems to be wrong with the car. Im thinking its just the fact that theres a different egine and ecu in the car and it hasn't recognized it yet. Now I bought my ecu from bubbaflaat on this borad and he says that the ecu is a kl36. Now im not saying its the wrong one, but if it was could I pull a code and find out? What would the code say? Plus my idle is a little up and down, it will rev by itself up and down. Would that be the idle screw not set right? But if anyone has some info to help me break this engine in, it would be welcomed.

You may also not have the harness hooked up correctly, I believe there is a mismatch with the harness and the hookups which causes a CEL light, easily fixed but you SHOULD not be able to get a code from it. It is just an unpluged wire which causes the light to come on.Gro Harlem wrote:no jdm ecu has OBD of any kind...thats an north american thing

The self revving could be alot of things, Check your pcv valve, then your hoses for leaks, mine turned out to be my clutch spring.MX-3 Money wrote:So I finally got the ze sawp all done.

HA i wish my ecu looked like that. I figured he might have scammed me. The sticker was warn off and "kl36 speed limter removed" was writen in magic marker. I guess im just to trusting. So just to get this clear, would my check engine light come on if it was a k8 ecu? I'll have to check my hoses on the weekend, but as for the wiring harness mix up, the harness has some extra plugs i believe that didn't seem to go anywhere. Is that normal? The shop were i go it done didn't say anything about that. Oh i wish i knew more about cars....lol.

There should be a concurrent thread running now that describes how to pull codes with a real ZE ECU by using an led instead of a wire to jump certain terminals in the diag box. I believe it was someone else experiencing similar problems overseas. It's in here.
