HELP! F150 LS Swap 4 Oxygen Sensor problemI swapped LS LM7 into F150 1977. (engine, tans 4l60E, fuel senders and EVAP vents into steel tank, EVAP, lines, exhaust with cats, BCM, etc)
Everything works great. The truck runs superb. Enters Closed-Loop.
I am having problems with Oxygen sensors. When the engine is cold, on the first start only I am getting all 4 oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction errors in pending codes (P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161). It happens only at the first, cold start.
On the second start (even after 1 second after cut-off) they do not come up as well as the ECU is not turning heating on (connected bulb not lit)
The system I/M monitors are not checking Catalyst and EVAP. I believe this is due to Heater Malfunction as above and not getting O2 Heater Ready (however they sometimes get ready when I drive and exhaust gasses heat-up).
I did almost everything I've seen on forums:
1. Changed all four O2 sensors
2. Checked the continuity of the circuits from ECU to sensors (many times)
3. Checked the heater power turning by ECU with a bulb instead of the sensor. (Going on after crank and flashing, however, as I said, only on first cold start. Even then I go only for few seconds. Second start is not turning heating on).
4. Checked grounds, from cylinder battery to ECU grounds on ECU connector (0-1 ohm).
5. Disconnected battery for more than 45 minutes, to zero-out any memory in ECU
6. Checked sensors heater resistance (13 Ohm). Power on sensors 12V
What can be wrong? Please help. I got out of ideas.
There is one chance, that all new sensors are wrong or bad. Resistance is good and I got the same all 4 codes with old junkyard sensors.
Might the ECU be bad?
