Help Starting Swapped JDM 3UZ in 2002 Lexus

[AndreasMet]

OK, so I swapped out the motor and connected all the stuff and everything looks correct.

I insert key in ignition and all electronics (dash, radio, etc.) come-up as if ready to start.

I'm not sure if I have auto shifting in proper set-up so maybe this is an issue.

So I put a jumper into the starter relay terminals to bypass the pre-ignition logic. The starter turns over, but the motor does not start.

I'm not sure how long the FI system takes to prime again, but I would expect it to take very little time.

Any advice to at least get the motor going will be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you need some immobilizer service ;-)
Read the DTCs first and post em right here

(read Lextreme on the subject of reading out the diagnostic trouble codes)

Thanks for the response. I will get a code reader and see what it says. Will also call some local shops and maybe pay $$$ to have them work it out. I'm way over my head when it comes to electronics.

It was a considerable challenge to swap-out the motor. So I have have some money to date.

To read the DTC codes you only need a 1Wt bulb and a paper clip.
I can offer disabling the immo for (probably) much lower than your local guys, even with shipping. Only 6spd a/t so far, working on 5a/t solution.
