Check
Engine light came on today. Truck runs great, temps are
good. I dis not have code recet before new engine installation. Could this be
Same
Error just returned because
I
Never
Reset
It?

 

Ok the dealership did a check and reset on my runner and so far code has not came back. Knock on wood. Code was too rich PO172. Is this the code that usually trips when head gasket blows? Thanks again! Going lobster diving soon!

 

Ok updated. So over a week ago I cleared cel codes and all is good. I drove my 4runner to NorCal and I'm working too!!! Thanks again to ALL specially Russ_buss for good deal on motor and loaned cherrypick.

 

Man, I'm bummed I didn't see this. Great attitude, SD! Nice work, too.....(in spite of the visit from the ex! .....shhhhhh! HAHAHA) ........

Glad you're mobile and drama-free so far!

Drive it like you OWN IT, Brudda! lol.

 

thanks a lot! I have now driven her to northern California and back. no problemos amigos... check engine light has stayed off now 2000 miles later.

 

Ok so I may be in trouble. I'm driving, on my way to meet client, my red battery light came on. I pulled over, looked while eng running, all seems ok. Any thoughts or ideas? I need to make this appointment. ?

 

Now my abs light came on

 

Probably regulator failure.

ABS is voltage sensative.

 

So I got my exit, the brakelight killed what little battery I ha left. I hot a jump within three minutes of me standing by truck holding Cables, someone stopped to help and I made my appointment. got another jump for ten minutes, then sped to autozone. Pulled battery so they can charge and test. Pulled alternator, tested twice. PASS. Battery after charged was tested and FAILED. 49 bucks back from battery, got a better battery and now back on freeway.

Well see if it is a bad battery, need to drive 140 miles.... Cya soon!

 

A detour, 175 miles later and all due to bad battery.

Tomorrow I am driving 470 miles... Time to update playlist!

Now at 299400ish. See pic

The below pic was takin before 320 mile roadtrip.

 

Shoot, it came back on and I'm supposed to drive 450 miles in 30 minutes.

 

Bum alternator even though it's testing ok? Problem in the ABS system?
Have you pulled the codes (or pending codes)?

 

Ok so I made the appointment, and I made it down to San Diego and back.

Bad voltage regulator only tested bad after alt was warmed up and tested over and over again. New alternator for 125.00 and I swapped it in parking lot of autozone. The manager at almaden branham autozone also tested for proper voltage after install.
Back on the road again.....

 

Got rake?

 

Check engine light back on.

Runs great and recently installed new cat and passed smog.

Same code. Maybe dirty MAF?

 

Ok now i have 322500 miles, my oem starter just went out so a kragen oreily special it is. 160 bucks 60 dollar core and 60 bucks for a dude on CL to help out.

Running again!!!!

 

So you are still running the original tranny, which now has over 320k on it? How does it feel?

 

Yeah i think so. I bought it from mid fortys dude in poway ca he said original motor and tranny but motor had head work done.

Tranny feels great. Knock knock on wood

 

So, overall, sounds like your motor swap was a pretty big success. All these little issues you've had have been unrelated. I'm thinking of doing a swap soon, and I even have a helper that has done a few. Your thread makes it seem easy! Nice work!
