Hey guys... tried pouring over similar threads and cant seem to find a fix. I swapped in a running motor from a 96 LX450 into a 1994 LC that sat awhile. I can get it to run with starter fluid, but no CEL... could the ECU be bad?

Yep... swaped out from the runner. Is the one for the fuel pump the grey plug or in the block? I havent tried to jump them yet.Fuel pump relay good? Fusible links good?
It's so close to being complete.. I've put an ome 2.5 lift on it. CDL switch. In dash cupholder.... I'm ready to mall crawl she deserves to live!!!Forget the tittle and sell the axles. JK
K294=Tripple locked
A343F- 95-97 tranny
Build date 10/95 either could be a 1995 or 1996. Most likely a 1996

It's a real gem alright... I just dont know what would cause the no CEL I've swapp3d everything related to it from the donor (with the exception of the ECM) could a dirty trans plug or something similar cut that readyness off?A "T" in the 10th position of VIN indicates a 1996 model
Yeah I do.... I'm going for it tomorrow.Do you have the other ECM to swap?
I'm sorry... I was mistaken... the door tag in the pic is the recipient . I'll get a pic of the donor door tag donor tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on the starter fluid posts. I'll read through them.What is the VIN tag from the truck you are trying to make run?
You showed one with 10/95 which is a 96, but you are referencing a 10/94 which is a 95.
If you actually have a 94 I'd be willing to bet it's the VAF/MAF/SMF whatever the hell it is for that year.
The fact that it will start and run on starting fluid points to the MAF thingy and secondly the IAC valve based on other posts here with similar issues.
Do a search for "starting fluid" and you'll find some explaining what they've done.
