Years ago I did an auto to manual swap. I have a post on the usmb that has the solution for the ecu to recognize the trans swap. If you do a search with Lmdew and trans swap you should find it. It was a bugger and took me a while to figure out. If you swapped electrical harness on the engine, I believe it should be fine. I've gone the other way, using a 90-93 engine in a 96+ Subaru. EGR can be worked around if needed.

Two tone makes it easy to find! Several folks that I've fixed front end hits for love there two tone Subarus. -
Correct Timing belt installation. Make sure it turns over by hand freely. Pull the valve covers and watch the cams/rocker arms. Does it feel like there is compression on each cylinder as you turn it over by hand? If so throttle wide open as you crank it over with the throttle wide open to check the compression on each cylinder.

Easy fix. I've done several of them. While you can pull out the support, if you have a self serve yard and you can cut out the parts you need from a undamaged car that's the way to go. You can cut out the damage and weld in the new parts. Cutout more than you need and then trim back. -
If I turn off the AC when I feel the cooling going down and leave it off for 5 minutes or so and turn it back on all is good. I pulled the Fan and Evap Cover to take a look at it. You can see much, but it looks like new. I'm going to talk to the AC Shop and see what they think. Put it back together if they don't have a solution. I don't want to throw parts at it. Boy I miss the 90 fans you could pull with a few screws. Clip together plastic everything, on the 2002 and later, I'm sure.
