Trouble shooting 5l hiace swap

Post by Zuki4x4 »

Howdy
Can any toyota gurus help me get my glow plugs and temp gauge working
I have a 1991 hiace that has cooked it's original motor, a 2.4 2l, I've replaced it with a 5l but it still has all the 2l wiring and ecu, I have just swapped a couple plugs where needed, once the motor gets warm the temp gauge goes right up and stays there, I think this might be to do with the gauge not getting the correct resistance? And the first time I attempted to glow the plugs with the new motor in, it blew the glow plug fuse (i have a replacement fuse) so it currently has no glow but it still runs fine but the cold starts are rough with no glow, could this just be a case of needing to swap the plugs from the 2l to the new motor if they're compatible?
Any help is very appreciated, cheers

Swap all of your 2L sensors, glow plugs etc so they are correct and compatible with the computer etc.
