BluetoE Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 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!

Olnick Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I love these swaps as well, but it's getting harder to find good low mileage 2.2 engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
