Question Just swapped E16I engine with same engine and year, but had 3 wire O2 sensor. ECM Mode 1 shows no led, green or red. Mode 2 shows no rich/lean activity. O2 sensor is heated 3 wire, although chassis is wired for 1 wire sensor. Hooked wiring harness connection to center wire of 3 wire sensor, eliminating the heater. Removed battery for 25 hours to try to reset ECM, but still open looped. Can I force it to closed loop?
Answer The o2 senors would not be different as they are on the exhaust.They were on your original exhaust so you have put the engine in with the wrong wiring.The engine you got has the wrong loom and thats why it will not work with your sensors.Why didnt you swop your old loom from the old engine?This will solve your problem.It will work if you have the proper engine.
