I would try to get another scanner or two on it.
There must be something the light is coming on for if your scanner clears codes and it goes off temporaily, but the problem sounds like a hard code - since it comes right back again.
Usually a bad sensor giving a strange reading to the computer will keep a strong code coming back every time.
This problem only started happening after the different engine was installed?
You may want to check part numbers on sensors for the two engines - maybe one is made with slightly different parameters causing the computer to be alarmed from the readings....
Please give more specifics, if possible, on how it behaved before and after the engine swap etc....
Hopefully this helps you in some way!!!
Let us all know how it goes!

Hi again Dale.
Well I bought the car and did test drive it first. That has been awhile ago, but I did check everything out, the lights, air conditioner , heat, ect....
I don't remember a check engine light being on back then, but it was along time ago.
The replacement engine was a Direct replacement for both cars. Based on production dates per Hyundia and the recycler I called. Actually they asked for the production dates to make sure got the correct engine.
You had replied to the heater problem with error code p0116 also on another post.
So I will get the code read at autozone as you had asked me to do. Also have a vacuum leak at the Idle speed control valve IAC , going to replace those hoses today.
Thank you will let you know what I find out. Again, thank you for your help. Will update later by 4-17 with new info.
