95 Camry Auto/Manual Conversion

[Mister_Perkins]

Hey guys, I just swapped my manual transmission into my 95 Camry. I had to use the automatic harness because I forgot to grab the under-dash harness from my 92 DLX 5-spd. Anyways, I bolted the NSS to the body, put it in park and it starts, runs and drives.

What the problem is, is that its missing really badly at low Throttle. I thought at first that maybe it was due to a dirty TPS because the engine sat for about 4 months. Before swapping in the engine/trans combo I replaced the oil pump, water pump, idlers, tensioners, springs, All Gaskets on the engine, flushed the oil, and transmission, put new main / rod bearings in the engine, re-ringed the engine. I know that there is no vacuum leaks because I sprayed starting fluid all over the injectors and vacuum lines and there was no idle change.

I remember reading somewhere that people were using resistor blocks when using automatic harnesses. Is that why they are doing that? I do notice that the O/D Light flashes after about 3 minutes of driving. At WOT there is no miss. Just when I slightly push the throttle in any gear.

I haven't really looked into it anymore than spraying starting fluid and cleaning the TPS. Anyone who has done the auto/manual swap I would like to know if you guys have had the same problem.. That way I can know if its due to using the automatic harness, or its something else that maybe I didnt hook up completely or something.

Thanks fellas (& Ladies),

More information:

I also cleaned the Throttle body, and IACV Before installing the engine too. Pretty much everything I could change or clean I did before installing the engine

The ECU is looking to activate the solenoids. Without that resistance, it will flash the O/D light. Use resistors on the solenoid harness to "fool" the ECU. I think it's supposed to be around 15ohms?

hmm . Well maybe the coil is cracked or something and Arcing out of the top causing the misfire at idle. I'll have to check it out this weekend. I'm just getting tired of messing with cars every day off I get lol
