The engine in my Honda Accord EX Coupe with a six speed manual transmission had a failure in cylinder 2 which resulted in uncontrollable oil consumption. Sadly it only had about 80K. I bought a used engine from a yard I have dealt with for over 40 years. The used engine has about the same miles as my old one. Removal went without a hitch but now they are sitting on my garage floor side by side and I have noticed a difference in the two. The old 3.0 V6 has a sensor on the passenger side of the intake manifold just above the power steering pump. The new does not and has a blank boss where it would attach. There is a sticker with a part number Denso 012010-1010 12V. Common sense tells me I'm going to need to transfer the old intake and engine harness to the (new) engine. Any thoughts?

 

welcome to the forum. You are corrent on transfer of parts.

 

Thanks,

It was pretty straight forward. I swapped the intakes, engine harness, flywheel and a couple of motor mount brackets. It seem the "new" engine was from an automatic transmission car. While I had it on the stand, I installed new timing belt, tensioner, water pump, valve cover gaskets and spark plugs. Also put in new warm up cat on front bank and installed a new clutch in the transaxle. All cleaned up and sitting pretty I hope to install it back in the car on Sunday.

Again thanks

 

good move to replace all the needed items before putting it into the car. easier to work out of car.

 

Nice job
