So I have an '89 2.3L ranger which I swapped a '90 2.3 into. This engine runs with the alternator unplugged, or if I increase the load. Like turning headlights on or blower motor. Otherwise it sputters and stalls. I've checked the ignition control module ground and power all that works. CPS is getting a good ground also. I have a few codes I got while running the engine. 21: Engine coolant temp (ECT) out of self-test range. 33: EGR valve opening not detected. 13: Cannot control rpm during self-test low rpm check. 77: Operator error (Dynamic Response/Cylinder balance test). 52: PSPS circuit did not change states. Since I did the motor swap the power steering hasn't worked. Which makes sense that it would throw that code at me. I cannot figure this out. This is the weirdest problem I've ever had. I know I've posted a few threads on this but I keep getting new info. Thanks guys, I really appreciate everyone's input.
