Default 99 LS swap into EK problem

ok well, just finished up the swap, new plugs, wires gaskets timing belt, all that stuff.. heres the problem, when im at a stop sign and leaving in first gear, from 1-3k it lags like krazy feels like the car doesnt want to move but after that it feels fine, im running obd2a-obd1 jumper with obd1 ls ecu... the guy i got the motor from said he had a problem with it running on 3 cyclinders because of the injector #2 so i wired it direct car runs a bit better but still 1-3k lags doesnt feel like i have any power what so ever... im pretty stummped to this point.. check for spark fuel air everything is there... could it be a intake manifold leak? tps? injector stuck on open? bad o2 sensors? im running out of ideas..

oh yeah, also i have no cels, when i run obd2a ecu no cels either.

also what are the spark plugs suppoes to be gapped at? .030? or .050?

im kinda leaning towards a fuel problem? since.. i unplugged the spark plug wire #3 and the motor doesnt seem to shake or sound like it wants to die, but on all the other cyclinder it does that..

one more thing, i pulled out my plugs, and they kinda look brownish white on the tips, my friend said im running hella rich

change out your map sensor. and did you wire the injector staright to the ecu or to the battery. you dont want a injector on all the time

from what i bolded it sounds like you have a burnt valve. my friend has the same problem on his h23 motor, when we pull cylinder 3's sprak plug wire it'll still idle the same and won't sputter or sound like it wants to die, we get spark and fuel to that cylinder. he is also running on 3 cylinders...runs like ****!

if its a burnt valve then you gotta pull the head and change the valve that has a hold in it.
