Did you put new 02 sensors in when you did the engine swap??

 

[dunndt]

the engine was used but rebuilt i am not sure weather they were new

erase the codes by running the test and while it is spitting out the codes, pull the paper clip out. Then drive on it for a day and then check the codes again.

what is a

2.. Blend door problem???

The blend door is behind the EATC, and It selects heat, A/C or a "blend" for in between temperatures. The actuator that moves the door back and forth is most likely the culprit, part # FODZ-19E616-A $ 53.99 at www.fordpartsnetwork.com.

Thank you could this be the reason that i have no heat also

 

[91 SHOplus]

Yup.

 

[dunndt]

about how much will it cost to have someone else do like a car shop

 

[91 SHOplus]

The ford shop manual quotes it at around 6 hours labor. Labor rates can vary, but around here they average $70-80 per hour.

There's a good write up on this topic at www.shotimes.com unde the care and feeding section.

[dunndt]

is there anywhere that show how to change the o2 sensors

 

[91 SHOplus]

See the "how to" section here covering the Y pipe instal. It's covered somewhat there. There's probably a more detailed instruction on the HEGO sensor instal on www.shotimes.com
