usually when you order swaps, a bunch of sensor will break or **** out on you during the shipping or in the warehouse. try and fix the codes, then see if you still have a problem. you could try and reset the ecu and see if you can rev up to 2,000 before the lights go back on (might work).

unbolt the battery, let it sit for a while, it will clear the cel you're getting. and when i said 'lights', i meant the 'check engine' light.

you don't have it on the engine as in..........the motor is missing the sensor, or the motor doesn't come with one?
