Hi all,

 

I just wanted to stop by and thank everyone again for all of the information that is available here on USMB!

 

Three months ago I successfully swapped my dead 1998 EJ25 phase 1 engine with a salvaged 1995 EJ22. The swap went off without a hitch, but I have been troubleshooting CELs, high idle speeds, and the engine flooding when warm starting. Turns out after getting all of the vaccum hoses matched up correctly, it started throwing a Coolant Temp Sensor code. I grabbed another sensor from the local dealership and installed it today. It has been running like a top ever since. No more high idle and it starts as it should now. No more flooding

 

As a treat I gave the donor EJ22 a Seafoam treatment and changed the oil. The car runs so much better now than it did the day I bought it. I'm so happy I decided to go through with the engine swap.

 

Thanks again, everyone.

 

Now to put some mud on the tires!

That's great to hear--and thanks for the update. The EJ22 is a beautiful little hunk of aluminum. Just a bit of preventive maintenance every now and then and you should have many miles of happy motoring. Enjoy!

I love these swaps as well, but it's getting harder to find good low mileage 2.2 engines.

awesome, glad it worked out for you. it's a very nice fit for a lot of folks to do it this way.
