Default car stumbles even after swap . what could it be??

my car stumbles when i accellerate until about 4 k rpms// and at full throttle it bogs and kicks back at me.. it did this with my DX engine and now i swapped in a z6 SI motor and it still stumbles.. i cant seem to figure this out.. i changed the fuel filter and still does it. why??

fuel filter would be my first guess, but thats out...umm maybe bad gas or spark plugs gapped too far??

if you did fuel filter my guess would be plugs...
does it kinda like pop? like a misfire? if so its the plugs.

yea i changed the FF , the timings right cause honda set it for me. if it was anything like that it wouldnt have done it with the other motor too.. im trying to think outside the engine .. something to do with the fuel system or something ... i cant figure this out ..

maybe your fuel pump is weak, it could be ready to go out on you

i will be willing to bet my next paycheck its your injectors.

Edit: Same thing happened to me so I have personal experience. Changed injectors and it ran like a top.

Check all of your fuel lines, especially the ones going from the end of the fuel rail. Over time these tend to harden and crack. I had a huge problem with this on an H23vtec del sol we did. We started up the car and drove it and it stumbled and bogged on acceleration. I spent a day replacing all of the old fuel lines and the car ran killer. Two of the hoses had small cracks and was leaking fuel. And fuel evaporates very fast so sometimes small losses can't be seen. Good luck.

it also sounds like an injector problem to me...check to see if all your spark plugs are working cause thats wat my problem was, one plug wasnt getting any sparks because the injector was not sending any fuel, bogged like crazy after 3k rpms
