Hello

Well started off thinking it was a good idea now realized it might be a fail but hopefully you guys can help.


I have a 2007 camry CE with the 5 speed E351 manual trans, the 2.4L 2AZFE engine blew so I decided to change the engine, but they where way expensive and had the oil issue so I decided to go with the 2.5L 2AR-FE engine that I found at a local junkyard for cheap. It came out a auto 2011 camry.

I changed the flywheel and bolted the E351 5 speed right onto the 2.5L new engine.

The harness was very similar but the 2.5L had more sensors than the 2.4L so i ended up having to use the automatic transmission harness that came with the 2.5L engine and modify it a bit to work on the manual trans.

Guy gave me the ecu with the engine aswell so I plugged that in

everything was plug and play pretty much all mounts and everything went in.

Ground is good and everything looks good

now the fun part after all the work, car turns over but nothing, as if the starter is not connected to the car, i thought its a immobilizer issue however it doesn't even crank.

I jumped the starter with a screw driver and it turns over but seems like some wiring issue it wouldnt start.


if anyone has any idea what to do I would really appreciate your input.

Thank You
