  • Here's the re-seal and install of a J37A2 engine into my 3G TL Type S. Project has taken longer than expected, but hopefully the hard part is finally done...
    Couple of differences that I know of for the J35 to J37A2 swap- Catalytic converters are different. Oil Pressure Sensor is different, old sensor will not thread in to J37 Oil Pump (should re-use J35 Oil Pump). J35 Injectors are 290cc, J37 Injectors are 310cc (Not confirmed), they still plug and play. Ignition coils are different, you will have to cut off old ignition coil connectors off and rewire new connectors for the new ignition coils. That's all that really got in the way of it being a direct swap.

    Heyyy maaan!! I’m new to your channel. I own a 05 TL.6 speed manual. I’m finding new shit wrong with it every time I open the hood🤣🤦🏻‍♂️
    I found it was in a wreck in the front and today I found like 3/4 of a inch of bondo on the LR quarter panel 🤦🏻‍♂️
    The guy I bought it from told me everything is perfect with the car!
    That’s the last time I buy a car at nighttime and 30• outside!🤣🤣💪🏼

    • @gapplevr4915
      @gapplevr4915  2 роки тому +1

      No not yet, it might be because I didn't remove it when I cleaned the oil pump in the parts cleaner and made it go bad, or the sensor isn't compatible with the older 07/08 ECU.

      Great question Rayan. I was just researching that this week. It’s interesting how the 3.7 isn’t used anymore. Although Gapplevr4 appears to have found a good one.

    • @maxparker5199
      @maxparker5199 Рік тому

      Mine does it. It started shortly after I bought it at 110,000 miles. I would definitely just suggest keeping carbon buildup minimal on them. I’m iffy on additives for carbon cleaning, but I kinda wish I tried something

    Hey bro, that's misfire or something with the fuel. It sounds like when cars used to have a distributor and they would get water in it while cleaning the engine, they ran just like that.
