Hey Mike

Glad to hear you have the problem sorted. These type of things can drive you NUTS!!



It is actually common for nearly every check engine code that the troubleshooting path is:

Check the signal and the earth for the sensor

Check the wiring to and from the ECU

Check the connectors are good.

If everything checks out, the next suggestion is usually "Replace ECU"

For sure with all your codes coming up together [Christmas!!], your problem was in the 'puter.

A question; you replaced the engine with a jdm import. Did the import come equipped with EGR and emissions gear?

And if it didn't, did you just do without, or port over the gear from your old engine? OK that's two questions.
