Problem after engine changeout, 99 Neon
There is definately something with your computer/sensors. I know that
until the engine reaches running temp, there are verious sensors that are set to open circuit. I do not know the whole list of them other then the O2 sensor, which would not cause that issue. The engine you put into the car, was it the same as that that came out? If the transmission and engine type are not the same as what the ECU was programmed for, this would be your issue.

Did the transmission get changed with the engine or is it the original? When I had my transmission rebuilt almost two years ago, something happened to the sensor as a result of the transmission removal/installation. The speedometer was erratic, or inoperative. I probably should have gone back to the original shop to have them make it good, but I did it myself in the interest of time. -Kirk Matheson |
