Welcome to the site, the 2006 2.4 engine is an odd duck , the 2008 is not compatible.
even the 2.2 is very different.
yes physically they’re an match but internally and electrically, way different.

Hi Jason, to the forums!!

If you would tell us which engines were involved, we may be able to make some suggestions for what to look at.
