So just this weekend I finished my mini me swap on my AUTO eg, with a z6 head on a b7 block. Everything seemed to go well, for the most part, it runs, it drives, it sounds healthy, all CEL went away which was nice to see, and even had vtec working but I ran into a new issue. Initially, from a stop, anything more than 1/4 throttle, it sputters out and stalls. We figured out the kickdown cable was never tightened so we fixed it and now it no longer stalls, but gets pretty damn close with anything more than 1/4 throttle from stop. It almost feels like it is starting in 2nd gear, how it rides, but I manually shifted through 1, 2, D3, and D4 and it shifted through all 4, just being very slow and sluggish from a stop, and for some reason feeling like it takes a lot longer to get through gears. I do notice a power gain so the head swap did go as planned, but I am not sure what is going on. I have a stock P28, we already figured out that throttle to the floor is WOT, so it isn't a throttle cable thing, and I think I could still do some adjustment on the kickdown cable but I don't think that is it. If anyone has any ideas, let me know, I want to get it working properly so I can drive it correctly to and from work until I can afford to do a manual swap.

Thanks

 

Is your distributor set properly ? Sounds like you may not have enough ignition advance.
