I didn't think any CVT HX's had lean burn. I do believe none of them came with the 5 wire primary o2 sensor.

Long night in. Started at 5pm. Old engine out, new engine in.

All that's left is re-install axles, add fluids.

2 things I have noticed that are NOT plug and play.

The vacuum line for my CC had it's own port on my y8 intake. On this intake that port is not drilled. Not a big deal as I'll tee off of the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line.

The second is my car has the evap canister under the hood with a solenoid / sensor on it. The HX engine harness does not have this plug.

I will figure out what i need to do IF I end up with a CEL for missing evap control / tank pressure sensor.
