6 bolt swap
95 eprom ecu

okay so the motor was swapped and everything when i bought the car

but, it had a few problems, the previous owner did not take care of the car, plus there was some stuff i wanted done

so, i had the car rebuilt along with a couple upgrades, bored throttle body, new fmic, new intake, and a few broken sensors were replaced, along with the o2 sensors and the aem wideband being hooked up incorrectly. also the previous owner had put larger injectors in and not tuned or anything for it, so it ran a little sketchy.

now for what happened:

after the rebuild and everything, it ran fine, everything worked well. but after a little bit of driving the check engine light will come on and a misfire code will throw and it will run on three cyclinders. im being told thats a 6-bolt swap problem. i had the ecu checked out and inspected and its fine. im also being told the only way to fix it is to get dsmlink and delete the code from the ecu to prevent it from happening. i feel like with it being the same motor in a sense, there should be a way around that without having ecm link.

i was planning on getting ecm link eventually because i have the larger injectors still and i would like to put them back in and tune it. but not right now. right now i just want the car to run like it should. which is a stock rebuild, plus a few upgrades. from what i understand the car mainly throws it on cruise, because the ecu looks for problems when you cruis for more than 90 seconds or whatever it is. thats when it comes on and goes to three cyclinders. how can i fix that? or is really my only option dsmlink?

thanks
 
I dont know if you guys are using tr units on these 6 bolt swaps but I had a the same problem in a 1g and sometimes when i hit the rev limiter also. It would start missing and push out codes ten I would have to pull the battery terminal and it would crank up and stop missing. Chane the tr unit it and it was fine.Hope his helps
