Hi all, Two days ago the check engine light came on. When I drive for 5 min the light comes on.
 I have a 3sgte out of a Caldina (ST215) and the use the stock JDM ECU, so I can't get codes from it. I don't see anything leaking and the car runs great. I have put about 800 miles on the car since i did the swap. What should I check first? |

did you bought a complete engine or a front clip from a caldina?
3SGTE gen 4 are OBDII if I'm not mistaken (I've never seen a jumper box on any gen 4 wiring harness), no more jumper box for testing and checking codes. If you bought a clip, I supposed that you installed the OBDII connector located under the steering wheel in the caldina front clip. If you didn't do it, you'll have no way to see what code is triggering your CEL. |

I buy a clip. I didn't install OBDII connector located under the steering wheel in the caldina front clip because there is one on the celica. Should I have installed the caldina OBDII connector?
