finished 2.4 swap, some ?'s
Monday, June 20, 2005 8:13 PM
Well, after A long couple days, my swap is done.Im just having some minor issues, hoping someone can help. For starters went from a 99 2.2 to a 97 2.4, on the 2.4 the evap canister is right by the engine bay, on the 2.2 its back by the gas tank. I know where the line is that runs back to the canister, but dont where the evap port is on the engine, can anyone help me here? The bigger prob, my dummy lights are randomly lighting up, like ill be driving and the air bag , abs, check engine, security will just come on, any ideas why? and the security is giving me some troubles to, sometimes its fine, other times its makin the car do the whole i wont start BS. and my oil pressure light stays on,but i think i screwed up the sending unit on the install. If anyone has any input on any of this probs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

the lights issue you prob missed a ground wire


my friends 97 had issuses with a 99 pcm cause of the theft , reprogramed the 97 to the 99 vin and no problem , my best guess is the resistance value of the key was causing a problem


id just run the hose from the tb to the stock place on the 2.2

i had a short on one of my ignition wires coming off of my Clifford (solaris 4) alarm/remote start system this interfered with the OE anti theft system causing the car to cut off power to the fuel pump.. it would start idle fine then die within a matter of seconds.. make sure you have all good conections on your igntion wires

Yes the dummy light problem is a bad/missing ground.

got the lights fixed, another couple ques....my engine keeps throwing a knock sensor codebeside for the obvious knock sensor itself, anyone have any suggestions? also, my DRLs arent working, which i dont really care about, just wondering if anyone knew why.

it on the back side of the motor , near the belhousing area of the block , next to the oil dipstick tube , and the heater hose


is the drl light on , in the cluster ?
