Hey folks, finished up my AOD to T5 swap this weekend. Ran into some weird issues detailed out below. Before the swap, I had code 67 on KOEO testing.
Background: When pulling the car into the work area, it was freezing. The starter solenoid got stuck and cranked for like 45-60 seconds and a buddy had to smack the solenoid to get it to stop. After this, tried to start the car and it didn't crank (fried the starter) but the negative terminal got really hot. I've since replaced the starter (PA Performance mini starter) solenoid (Motorcraft) and starter cable (LMR) and it turns over just fine.
I started the car after the swap and got codes 67 and 24. Re-ran codes, got 67, 34, and 22. Removed the negative battery cable to help reset, and got codes 15 and 67. Reset the code 15 by re-running KOEO test, and pulling the STI/signal wire as the codes started being pulled. Finally, after all is said and done, I consistently have codes 22, 34, 63, and 67.
Issues:
1. Codes 22, 34, 63 all have the same ECM pin in common, 46. Is it possible I fried this when the starter solenoid went? The commonality has me concerned a bit. I'm still trouble shooting (need to test harness and the PCM) but really curious if anyone else has had this issue before or if it's even possible.
2. I have a high idle (1200 ish) since the swap. While this is an issue in and of itself, I'm troubleshooting separately. However, when the car is idling I do not have check engine light. As soon as I put it in gear (any 5 forward, OR reverse) the idle jumps to 2500 and check engine light comes one. This only happens when I put the car in gear.
Each time, it had a hard start (had this previously, but it was intermittent before the swap). When it runs it it does surge, but eventually levels out after a few minutes.
Anyone have experience with these issues or any thoughts? My concern is the codes changing over the few times I ran the codes, this sounds like a ground/ecm issue.
