The engine in my 1996 Camry blew after 241,000 miles. I replaced it with a jam 2.0 engine and tranny’s had a 2.2
I was told everything should work except rear motor mount.
I have it running and drives ok,but I have 2 check engine codes on a P0340 code which is a camshaft error and a P0773 with is a solenoid E error.
I use all my electricial components. Distributer, wiring harness. All seem to plug in just find.
One the tranny I had to swap my valve body with the 1 I bought since the one I purchased didn’t have the shift solenoids plugs. Cant get these errors to go away and I don’t want to keep replacing parts to see if error codes go away. I can”t get it inspected here with these error codes on. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I'll presume you couldn't find a replacement 2.2 as the reason you're trying the 2.0 engine/tranny...or cost. Transplants are always easier when you stick with the same vehicle and generation.
To help decode the codes, I'd find a scanner that gives you live data to see what the affected sensors are reading, then I'd find a manual for the car the new engine/tranny came out of and correlate the two. Most used parts yards give some sort of warranty, though it's usually basic DOA. Give the engine a good tune up and look over according to the donor car's procedures to make sure everything is right with it.
Hope this helps!
