2001 honda civic Start the engine tachometer climbs to 2000 approx main relay clicks rpm drops, climbs again click and drops, does this for approx 1 minute then engine goes into safe mode and idles tachometer just shuts off. This has occurred since I swapped out engine and have experienced this problem since start up. Checked ground and sensor connections alternator is operating.

There is no communication with the reader tried that. Since I swapped out the engine does the PCM need to be sync'd to the new engine?
