here is the story.. bought a eg hatch with a blown cx motor. swap it out with another cx d-series motor. it has no CEL.. idles a little..bought new plugs and wires.. i drove it down my street to see how it drives.. at first it picks up okay but when it gets to 30-50 struggles.. it still goes but weak. changed out the throttle body from the old motor into the swap.. same thing happends.. any ideas? thanks!

 

Check mechanical and ignition timing. Are you using the correct ECU?

 

Does the CEL work?

 

sde780 - same ecu that was already in the car... P05

RonJ@HT - yes the CEL works..

 

well it is a d series lack of power is nothing new just turbo it. lol jk. i say check the timing.
