Immobilizer? Did you have everything coded correctly? Best guess.

It may be the key but, It cranks and unlocks the doors and activates the alarm so my thinking is that it should be programmed, is this correct??? Also, i am not getting any spark whatsoever and one thing i should mention is that the map sensor was different on my motor from the one that was installed.

I am waiting on a new map senor which i ordered because the one on the new motor was broken and was from a Premium Plus car and mines is only a Premium car.

Could I not be getting spark due to a Map sensor? Map Sensor on the intake? ANYONE

Seems if you answer more questions there are more discrepancies. I've done several motor swaps and conversions in my day but usually follow some basic rules. First was the motor taken out of a same year car. Next did you replace ALL (seems not) of the sensors and electronic components from your old motor onto the new one. There is no difference of the motors from the P vs the P+. Did the suppler of the used motor guaranty it will run and if so how did they make it run. After 2009 until 2014 I don't believe there were any changes to the 2.0L engine.

All Sensors were replaced. Engine code CAEB on both motors. Some of them in fact were different. There were 4 different engine codes for the appropriated year range, 2009 to 2011. Getting my VCDS tool back from a friend tonight and will report my findings. In the meantime, any additional help is much appreciated, thanks..

Car was from same year and build date were only 3 days apart

ANYONE?
Who made the key?
Do you know you have to go through immobilizer procedures when you have a new key or ECU?
