Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

Ok The car runs better, but I think there is quite a bit left in it that I am not getting. The hard misfires and stumbling at mid throttle are gone. Solved the IAC code it through by hooking up a second iacv coil to the wiring harness and leaving the one on the manifold disconnected electrically. No...

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

Hi Josh, new MAF (one I had on hand) and IACV and new ECU are installed. Havent driven the car yet, but it appears we lucked out and got a manual transmission ECU. So no surgery needs to be done there. However, have a strange thing happening. With the car warmed up and idling I have a check engine l...

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

I noticed that you gave me two part numbers for those injectors is there any significant difference between thee aa140 and aa141? I have already received a new set of injectors of the aa140 part number so those should be totally compatible with your ECU and MAF. I so hope this works....

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

ok Josh PLEASE send me your ECU and maf. Swapping that out will be easier than changing injectors. And on top of that if it is just one pin that needs to be cut or connected, I can manage that I think. I am ready for things on this project to start going my way instead of murphys law way. How much d...

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

Regarding your post Josh, I do have the red top injectors as that is what was stock on the 98. I know I cannot swap fuel rails between the old 2.2 and 2.5 because spacing and bolt layout is wrong but not sure about putting the black top injectors from the 2.2 in the 2.5 rail. Dont know if they will ...

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

Ok got good idle and good light throttle driveability. 1/2 to full throttle not so much. stumbles, misses erratically. If it were a steady miss I would suspect a plug or plug wire, but its totally random. Wonder the the stock fuel pump cant keep up with the red top injectors? Guess I got to get a pr...

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

Thanks Josh for the help you have offered with this situation. I discovered much to my chagrin that both the main wiring harness that connects to the ECU from the engine harness and the engine harness itself were both cooked. There is some good news in all of this as I dived into the arduous task of...

I need both the engine wiring harness and body harness it plugs into. Hopefully that will get me the Ecu wiring harness and connectors I need. If anyone has one these and is willing to part with them please send a message with your price. The need is both immediate and urgent

Anyone tried doing a manual IACV?

I am having issues with my idle speed and after partially disassembling an old one I had off of the 25D that I just rebuilt and put in the car, I thought that might be a solution to a fairly widespread problem.

Re: ej22 to ej25d swap...not as easy as it looks

the wires affected were the black, black-white, white and one more I cant remember all connected at top end of the bottom connector on the ECU. Circuit board and conductors were cooked, wires vaporized, circuit board turned to charcoal over the area of about a dime. not what you want to do at all.

Without any of the diagnostic connectors connected does the CEL come on? With just the GREEN connectors connected do you hear relays cycling on/off?
