It would not be any harder than putting another EF engine in. If he installed the cam angle sensor and all other sensors, accessories off the old engine it will run fine. I dont see the difficulty sorry.

Sorry tas, I cant think of anything off hand other what you have already suggested......... No wait, did you swap timing covers and balancers from the EF engine to the EL engine before you put it in your car? Because if you did not you will be missing the crank angle sensor and that would be the problem I think. Come to think of it that may be what the problem was with the old engine, Faulty crank angle sensor?

Ok just a thought, have you check for spark on each plug, and checked each injectors working,

I know i had a bad miss similar symptoms, no fualt codes turned out the ecu was fualty, and wasn't sending signal to one of the injectors. so even when i changed the injector, it still was no go, new ecu, doesn't miss a beat again.
