Problem with my d16z6
Well i swapped the motor in my Eg .. everything was fine Idle was good .. no funny noises.. i did all my fluid, oil, spark plugs ,etc. and i have about 1 gallon of gas >< well its been 3 days since the the swap was done .. but for some reasson when i started the car earlier it sounded like it wanted to die out .. when i step on the gas it kinda lags like a chokey feeling and then revs up .. can someone tell me whats going . thanks

Hmm make sure you spark plug wires are all the way in. Its happened to me a bunch of times, and it was just because one of my spark plug wires was loose.

fuel filter. With that gallon of gas in there you were sucking from the bottom of the tank. Probably knocked some deposists loose and they ended up in your filter.
Just a guess, but it's worth checking.

Re: (IslandSi)

you must not realize how small amount of fuel is needed for a 1.6l engine to idle.

he said it wanted to die out and then choke when giving gas, so yeah, it could be fuel related, but the fuel filter would have to be almost completely clogged shut to cause an issue like that at idle.
i say timing belt jumped, but i know nothing.
