Yet another Issue (Eco)
Wednesday, April 07, 2010 9:07 PM
Ok im going nuts here with this friggin swap. i had starting issues weeks ago(diff crank sensor plug), then on drive home it was pissing coolant(loose bolt on housing), then exhaust hanger broke(sat for a year and it was dried out and when i aired it up for the tow truck it broke. So now that i finnally have all my sensors plugged in exhaust pipes on leakes fixed and all. she drives odd(still need eco throttle cable) does any one know how to get the cable off the fire wall. i can get it off the pedal and the TB but cant get the old one out the firewall to get a new one in.

Ok next issue. under just puttzing ie 25-30 around the backstreets she shifts at like 4-5k and its a slow shift. havent had this since i had to ride a few days with no cat years ago while i did my headers. now on the ride home from the shop(9 miles) i had now exhaust sensors hooked up yet. but they are now. and have been drivein around the back roads for a few miles. but still have the check engine and the trac off light on. so i break out the obd 2 scanner and read the codes and they are as follows....

7-codes(two are repeats but they list as 7)
1-p0141-o2 sensor heater circuit malfunction bank 1 sensor 1
2-p0135-same as above but bank 1 sensor 2
3-p0507-idle control system rpm high
4-p0130-o2 sensor circuit malfunction bank 1 sensor 1

Can anyone break this down for me as to what these mean and how to fix them. like i said i didnt have the two exhaust sensors plugged in for the first few start ups & drive home(not much choice at that time)
So please help me if you can on the codes and the trans issue(think maybe related to the exhaust codes)???and cable. she needs inspection this month and i wanna have it all squared away by then.
also lil back ground the car is a 00 and it originally had a 2.4l twincam in there till i spun a bearing. i then decided to swap in the 2.2l eco(Motor/trans same car 2005 build date). motor was from a t-bone wreck. she has 150k on the motor and trans. any more info please ask ill let u know the symptoms etc. thanks Bluedriftcavy.

Does the lack of O2 sensors cause a limp mode? If the O2 sensors are plugged in and working, the O2 codes should go to "immature" or "history" status and no longer throw a CEL. It takes quite a few drive cycles to clear the O2 codes though from my experience (5 or so on/off cycles with a decent warmed-up drive). If you continue to scan and the O2 codes are current after a few drive cycles, you may need to check the connections and/or replace the O2 sensors.

My first guess on the Idle control system high rpm was that cruddy TB. I tried to clean it up, but you may want to pull it and see if you have a small brush to get in where the idle air control valve is. If that doesn't work i have a spare TB you can have for ten bucks lol. It still has a working IAC valve and TPS w/ about 40k miles on it.

When you say the trans shifts slow does it feel like slipping? :Has it done that from the first drive? What happens if you floor it?

well the bank 1 sensor 2 was my original on the headder sensor 1 is the one from the motor. un thats what im thinking is that it may be stored? since it showed twice. the trans feels like theres no backpressure like if u were driving a stick and you shifted but you let out the clutch slow u get that gear/clutch sound before it fully grips. hard to really explain. yes since day one. but drive from the shop was no exhaust so it was ballls slow heck needed a running start to catch the hill of my driveway in rev. after pipes and cat on it was much stronger. when i floor it it moves and shifts high i dont really remember since i havent drove non boost in almost a year im used to that responce lol. so for all i know its nomal lol but seems like i said 25-30 puttzing it 4-5k shifts and seems like it wants to take its time to doo so.

what if i clear the codes then i guess see what shows then. idk does it record the thrown codes cause first start the 2.4 cable was tensioned so she idled ate like 2500 for a while since it was hitting the hood.(very long cable) i need to change that. the throttle body if i got a chance ill clean today. ethier way ill be at steves sat sometime i can pick it up off you then. if your there.


i just wanna get it running so i can drive it hate paying insure to sit did that for all last year lol urrr. ps hurry up with my new eco lol. that is closer to the miles on the car anyway hehehe.

Ah yea forgot about the cable thing - so maybe the IAC valve is fine! It idles ok now?

Sure, clear the codes and see what pops up. Does it state the status of the code? Maybe wee need to hook the HPT scanner up to it. That tells you if its current or history.
