Did you check your timing ???

yes i did ,it is on time.
Vacuum leak? Faulty AFM? Mechanical timing? Can you give us some history on what was done when the engine was swapped?

sounds like the valve timing is off.

I say timing also. I think you need to find a new mechanic... or preferably... do it yourself.

wel i bought the car wit a 2nd Gen 3sgte ...... and found that it need to be rebuilt. So i spoke to my dad bout it , and he had this friend who is a mech. , so i toke the car to him , it sat there for almost 2 months ..and the guy had only taken out the head. .. So i got pissed and towed it back home ....and continue the rebuild by myself with a new mech. , he is pretty good but right now i think he is rushin the project.
