OK I JUST DID A MOTOR SWAP. I GOT A USED MOTOR WITH 50K ON IT. I FINALY FINISHED IT TODAY AND NOW I HAVE A COUPLE OF LIL KINKS TO WORK OUT. I DONT GET ANY TEMPATURE READING. WHERE IS MY TEMPATURE SENSOR? MAYBE I DIDNT PLUG IT IN. SECONDLY I HAVE NO PLUG FOR MY AIRPUMP. COULD THIS MAKE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND MAKE MY CAR RUN FUNNY?

 

The water temp sender is located on the driver's side of the motor screwed into the rear (I think?) rotor housing. It's really small and is tucked away under the oil filter area/ oil pressure sender area.

 

Yes, the air pump unplugged can cause your car to idle funny.

Also, did you think carefully about what you were doing when you decided to install a 50k old motor? Seems very risky....

 

i was just doing it because i got it cheap and ive seen it run b4 i got it. it was really clean. but whatever i know what your sayin. i dont care it should give me a good 20 -30 k. it took me with minimum help 2 weeks to do the swap and it was my first one(i popped my cherry) i think i can do it in a couple of days if i had the time. i just want to get around till i get a new motor to build for a single trubo upgrade. thanx for lookin out thou.
