the bad motor I had in it was modified to fit so I might just swap em

i got the three codes off but now only marks map sensor.
the car was turbo'd before so they got it different im sure if any of u have been turbo befor u know what im talkin about

but other than that the car starts idle is at about 1500
and when given gas don't rev it just wants to die until it finally shuts off

hoping just a vaccum leak any ideas?
