swapped out 85 bosch with 83 chrysler 200

I'm having the same LH2.0 problems as these guys at pre-warm running...

Replaced AMM a year and half ago
Replaced fuel pressure regulator
Checked every pin on the ECU with the bentley manual and NOTHING - TPS was misadjusted and fixed that
Fuel pressure is good
I've been strongly advised that my LH2.0 woes are related to the engine coolant temp sensor (ECT), but it checks out.

The interesting thing though, is up above, there's mention of when the car is cold having to mash the throttle and it bogging when cold, then once it reaches a certain RPM it suddenly seems to turn on - I have this happen too. What's more, I also replaced the hall sensor last summer as mine went out and it wasn't from an LH2.0. I've got the hall sensor from the 84 already and I'll be swapping it in today.

The car fouls often at cold starts and I generally can't get it started back unless I let it sit.

Also, right after the swap I noticed a new "personality" of the gas pedal. Right when you get off the idle switch on the TPS, there is a stutter and misfire in the engine at speed. As soon as you press any distance further though on the pedal, it stops and drives fine.

Timing was set properly idling warm at 800rpm when I replaced it with the post 84 hall sensor. I hope I've got it written down in my repair manual what it was from.

I'll post up today when I get it swapped.

Wheel bearings and diagnosis yesterday and today I'm doing the ECT, Hall sensor, oil change and replacement of a transmission fitting that's leaking at the compression fitting no mater what I do.

Wish me luck!
