so i picked up a nonturbo fwd talon shell pretty much perfect body.
swaped a turbo engine, the harness, ecu, exhaust, and gauge cluster into it from a running crap shell and now it isnt running right at all
idk what happened in the process.
i idles very low about 500-700rpms and sounds like its fireing wrong.
it has a cop setup that was working before the swap.

anyone some ideas before i call map??

Check all you wires and connection. Could be a bad ground. You getting enough fuel? Did you change ecus? Only way map can help you is if you bring it to them and have them work on it. Iam sure they would be glad to sell you some stuff. If the car ran fine before the swap and now it doesnt. Means you missed something or you fucked something up.

yeah i checked all the wires and its the same ecu
how do i check to see if i have enough fuel??
i would be bringing it to them if i cant figure it out.

Fuel pressure gauge. You could have bad gas. do you have a Check engine light? Do you know if you are getting spark on each spark plug? You getting correct voltage to the injectors?

It takes a while for gas to go bad, I'm driving around on last year's gas with no problems. E85 is a different story.

So you did a complete turbo swap into a non-turbo car, you tell us it's not running well without much detail, and want us to diagnose the cause over the internet?

I say swap it all back to the turbo shell and see if it runs better :)

Make sure you have strong spark at each cylinder. Check fuel pressure at the rail. Make sure all the harness connectors are connected securely.
