Re: 2000 Taurus Wagon Engine Swap

Welcome to the forum!

Yep, codes will be beneficial.

I'd also keep in mind that there are a fair number of vacuum hoses and electrical connections that need to be correctly made when swapping an engine. You'll want to be sure all vacuum lines are connected, the air intake tube is secure and does not have any leaks, the MAF sensor is clean and connected, the coolant temperature sensor is in specification, and the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is connected and not bypassed with one of those cheesy "performance chip" resistors being sold on eBay.
