Well... After further review. The CEL light bulb was burnt out. Which led me to believe the fuel pump had failed. After swapping the pump out from the donor... SHE RUNS!!! The moral of this story is to check your CEL bulb. Glad I didn't tear into it further... thanks for all the advice and help...
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.
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?
I don't have a title yet... but the door manufacture date is 10/94 and it has an OBD 2 port. The harnesses engine are Identical from the donor. Are there different types of OBD 2?
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?
I'm lucky enough to have the engine from a donor vehicle going in and realize that I've got spring clamps from both vehicles (that are on one side of the FHH and PHH) Would it hurt anything to use exclusivley those? Unless someone can bring a good arguement against them... I'm going to go for it 👍
I've gone down the path of working with WIX to resolve my no oil pressure issue... their first response was to ask why I was "using diesel engine oil in my vehicle" as if that was somehow a contributor... next their official and final response for denial was the use of a 1348 in my lexus LX450...
I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone for posting in this thread... In specific the response from Mann Hummel that is very similar to my warranty claim... EXCEPT mine was never flow tested!!! I've followed up with their main guy Mike Huffstedtler in that I now have proof of cherry picking...
