failed emissions Reply #20 – July 05, 2006, 11:59:13 AM Question, how did you go about replacing the engine?If a shop did it with a rebuilt unit, there should be some kind of warrenty. This warrenty not only usually applies to the actual engine, but the installation by that shop. You should be able to take it back to them with your failure form and they should make the neceassary repairs.As far as your check engine light coming on and turning off, it sounds to me that there is a sensor or hose that is disconnecting which is throwing the code and tripping the light. If that is the case, most likely it's a result of something the shop did or didn't do when installing the engine. I've seen this quite a bit from a pinched vacuum hose or a loose connector.If it is a used engine that you had someone just throw in there though, you're on your own. Quote Selected

The car seems to drive even better too.:) thanks for your guys advice. I still have the check engine light coming on and off as i drive though i think its a hose off/or loose, what should i look for? Car drives good and everything but i get annoyed by that check engine light. Also the warranty was over on the engine so i couldnt take it back there.... Quote Selected
