replaced engine and get Reduced engine performance light
Hey there, I just installed a used engine in my 2006 Volvo S40 and it started fine. While out for a test drive, Reduced Engine Performance light came on and car went into limp mode. Is there something I should do after installing this engine to correct this?
Thanks
Sandy

Is the car a turbo? What year / model is the car, and what year / model is the engine from?
There are a lot of things that can go wrong with an engine swap - if there's any difference in the donor / recipient vehicle, the CEM or other electronics could get confused. Or, you could have not gotten a connector seated properly (or at all).
Have you put an OBD reader on the car? I'm betting it's throwing a code or two that would be VERY helpful in determining where to look for the problem.
