No codes. There were codes for cam and cam sensor but that was due to connector broken off from the accident. Once I replaced and cleared codes it did not return. The rev limiter at 5500 rpm is the strange one to me. Sitting in neutral it kicks in at 5500 rpm and when under load my son says it just tops out at 5500. I have a call out to the last shop to do work on it. He said if he has the car in the database he will let me know what had been done to the car. But I had it smogged and it passed prior to the swap so I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a tune. In CA the tune must be stock. It has a slight vibration at idle but nothing crazy. Maybe a bad mount as I used the ones from the wrecked car. If you were just driving around town you would hardly notice but spirited driving reveals the lack of power instantly. Almost like it's starving. doesn't run bad....just makes more noise and doesn't go any faster. Is the pin out the same for the two harnesses that connect to the car?
