Vq35de Swap Cel Help
I have a couple cel's on my 4th gen vq35de swap maxima. The codes are as follows:
p0500
po505
po325
p1401
p1445
The car is running on a stock 97 ecu and my question was, when I go to replace these sensors, do I buy the 3.5 sensors or the sensors for a 97 maxima? Sorry if it is a stupid question, but Im a newb and still learning these things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

By the code definitions it appears that you have issues with the following:
P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor
P0505 Idle Air Control Valve
P0325 Knock Sensor
P1401 EGR Temperature Sensor
P1447 EVAP System Purge Flow Monitoring
It looks as though you have a 3.5 swap that was poorly executed in terms of overall quality. Although the knock sensor code is the only one that will affect how the engine performs (and the easiest to address), the others will persist until they are fixed. They will not be easily eliminated; some fabrication will be necessary.
Did you perform this swap personally, or buy it this way?

1. Plug in the old EGR Temp Sen. and let it hang
2. Replace the KS
3. Buy a new IACV or make sure all of the connections are appropriate
4. Check the Hose Routing for the EVAP system
5. New VSS?
I could do almost all of those in probably 30 Minutes.

I just made 90k on my fourth gen so im not considering swap and time soon but when i get there thats what im afraid of the most is having to deal with CEL issues from the swap.
In cali they have emissions that are a PIA!!

A codeless swap is rare and not easily done. I cant remember how many codes we had with ours but we didnt worry about it. Before I even did the swap I knew what I was getting into. Also I've always kept my EGR sensor plugged in and always had a code with every swap Ive ever done and Ive done all of them.

To be honest, Im not really concerned with the cel because the car runs great and pulls hard like it should. However, if the cel's are something that can be cleared with a little work involved, then why not do it? Unless Im going to have to do custom work and spend a lot of money into the car which isnt going to add to the swap running any better, then id be better off leaving it on it's own. Since im new to the game, im not sure what is exactly involved in getting the car to be codeless, hence why Im asking for help from my fellow forum members.

Man that sucks to hear.. I always imagined there was a way!
