Are we satisfying the ecu in question concerning setting base timing and have some way to see that timing on the front pulley?

 

Some ecu of that family have a 5 degree timing change at idle depending on ground to a certain terminal.....usually from the park/neutral safety switch that retards timing 5 degrees.

 

This is on ecus that came from automatic sourced cars.

Sounds good Stony, I hope this helps someone else out. I had read about three other threads on different sites that describe the exact same problems I was having but no one ever posted a solution so I post on all of them hoping to get a response but none the less I was on my own. I have also read that if the half moon pin is broken that the wondering signal will result in a massive retard in timing from the ECU.

 

Just as a side note to all that are planning to do this swap. Take the time to find a reliable and honest source for the motor before ordering. I bought mine from Canada and when it arrived, everything on the exterior was broken. I know that most of the importers don't warrant against exterior parts being broken but I have spent over a $1000 replacing what was broken on mine and as of now a whole lot of time because the cam drive pin (which is technically attached to an internal part by the way) was part of what was broken. I would also recommend asking for pictures of the motor before ordering so that you know what you should be getting.

Agreed, Best way to go is get it out of a running clip. 9 times out of ten when you get it from japan it has come out of a wrecked car. if it was a front hit there is a good chance the water pump tab on the black will be broken off. 

 

Howlermonkey the conversation about timing was a legit conversation... i weeded most of it out because even though it was accurate it wasn't related to the problem as a whole in this thread. The issues I had and the stuff that V went thru are pretty much everything that could go wrong with the cas drive gear replacement and hopefully will prevent any excessive downtime for anybody in the future.
