Hi,
I have a 92 Accord Lx with 480,000 original miles. It blew a head gasket and rather than rebuild the head(it needed it), we found a used engine with 150,000 miles on it. The engine is in and runs well. We used all of the external parts from my car. The engine came out of a 1993 EX car. The engine is fundamentally the same right? (I had originally thought they were an identical engine. oops) What are the differences that might cause these issues?
My concerns are:
The check engine light comes on at about 35-40 mph and stays on. The car runs perfectly fine. I wonder if the sensor from the engine I put in is not communicating with my computer like it should. Any ideas?
The tach is being weird. At idle, the tach shows 0 rpm's and yet the car is idling fine. The tach does not appear to be accurate anymore. It goes up and down like it should, but seems to be off some.
It does have the erratic idle issue. I am not worried about that. We have fixed that before. No real issue there.
Any ideas??
I tried to read the CEL codes and cant find the little plug on on the passenger side kick panel area.
