I am not allowed to swap to a 5spd

2000 lx
Girls car lost all gearing, no code, figured was TQ converter, it fell into gear with a slam, and had no forward, but reverse was fine. filters were clean but still cleaned em again. Nothing... fluid was fine

Put ex trans in( didnt know about that issue) still didn't go. Bought a ex ecu, it didn't do anything different other than throw a fault ecu code... Joy...
Ex trans with ex ecu, it should be shifting no issue, but I have nothing. And a new code 7 Throttle angle sensor or circuit has popped up.

So new trans , tq conv, and ecu and nothing. Any Idea's? Once again, I am not allowed to swap it.

 

Was the tranny and tq working in the donor? Are the axles fully inserted into the differential? The auto transmission needs the TPS signal for proper shifting, so definitely fix code 7.

 

yes axles are in, it has full reverse

 

 

Yes it was

 

That EX ECU is going to throw codes 21, 22 & 23 unless you swap the engine too, or at least the head and add the knock sensor. What year EX ECU did you use? Easiest thing to do here is to replace the tranny with the correct one. Btw even when using an EX tranny with an LX ECU it will shift reasonably well, somewhat harsher than normal and with a delayed reverse engagement, along with throwing codes P0700 and P0715 after a while, but it wont have the issues you're having. Either the new tranny and or torque converter is bad or you did something wrong when you installed it (although I can't think of what)

 

Im gonna try swapping the tb in the morning, Just gotta get this car to last 1 more year without dumping money into it

using a 99 p2p a92
Its always had a cel for o2's, whats another one lol

 

It's not gonna run well, I would have just kept the original ECU and suffered through one code as opposed to 3 given the choice.

 

Put new throttle body on, didnt make a differance.

Sooo, new trans, tq, ecu, and tb with no differance. Any idea's?

 

Is code 7 now gone?

 

lol, i was so pissed i just spent more money on a part,i just walked away. Ill check when I get home tomorrow

 

Both ecu's throwing same codes, cept the vtec oil code is on the p2p.
