Hi all,
My old man has a 2004 VY V6, the engine needed to be replaced, so he replaced it with one from a VX which had a stage 2 cam from MACE Engineering, he hadn't realised at the time but the calibration couldn't easily be swapped over, the car was running with VY ECU, but stalling and failing quite a bit, going against the advice I had given him he installed VX ECU onto the VY Harness (by removing the plastic on the connectors), now the we have a bunch of electrical issues.
The first major note is that there is no BCM Heartbeat, nor any chatter on the communication bus, along with that there is the following which may be or may not be corralated or causated by the above:
Starter Motor not working (power delivery issue, probably due to ECU/BCM right?)
Coolant temperature sensor uninstalled,
Fob not working,
Drivers door requires different key (relevant?)
Engine Cont relay, very hot when in ignition.
Alternator high pitched noise
Fuses/Relay all seem to be in order
Equipment and resources:
Laptop, Multimeter, Envyous customs ALDL cable, IT/Coding Knowledge, basic electronics knowledge, passion for complicated scenarios,
Various tuning/diagnostic softwares.
Would it be possible for me to track down the issue and fix it?
My first and initial guess would be that the BCM or another electronic module has been fried because the pinout of the VX ECU/PCM is different from the VY ECU/PCM (correct?)
What would be the best approach for troubleshooting this?
