my car wont idle
ok so i just finish swapping a newer (43k miles) 1.6l engine into my car and took out my 165k engine.
problem is the car wont seem to idle properly. if you hold the door on the AFM open it will idle but it wont when you let it close.
any ideas?

i took her for a test drive around the block and she felt like she has no bottom end power…..like its slow getting up to about 4k then feels normal like she should….i can put to the pedal to the floor and she literally goes nowhere.
