Well, i finally started my car today after an engine swap... but it barely runs. It has a VERY rough idle (but the idle learn procedure hasn't been done yet, so that could fix all my problems...) And usually when you shift into drive, it dies... any ideas? Also, its running really rich, like, black smoke billows out of the exhaust when its at like, half throttle. Thanks for the help... and the idle learn should be done tomorrow, i'll check back if it is.

Well... it can't be ignition timing (its a DIS system, you know)... but the o2 sensor could be a good thing to check... might a dead Mass airflow sensor cause these problems?

Well the mechanic checked it out... and he says that i have to get a new MAF sensor, a new o2 sensor, and a new temperature sending unit. And my radiator needs to be fixed... or replaced. Does anybody know how much a replacement radiator would be?

replacement radiators can run anywhere from $210-$350(or more) new...I have one here w/ a slightly cracked endtank that I've been meaning to fix :oops:

 

 

btw, the $210 price was from a small/local independently owned parts store, most chain parts stores list them in the $300 range...

what engine did you swap in?

Just another 3.1.... I wish i could have gotten a 3.4. That'd be sick.

 

if it's out of the same year, then you don't have a MAF sensor... :wink:...was that a type-o above? did you mean MAP?
