gday just replaced my mates motor with a motor from a tn...184kls seems ok but now seem to have fuel prob... lacks power runs slow off the mark..replaced fuel filter, adjusted tps,replaced solonid for idle, replaced sparks, leads.etc... but all to no avail.. this motor went into a 90 model tp wagon .. any ideas??

efi? have you looked at the oxygen sensor?

no.. easy to diagnose???

Sounds to me like you've put a carby engine into an efi car, while i dont think this is a problem, you will notice that the carby will lack a fair bit of power compared to the efi version which your old TP motor probably would have been. Make sure you have connected erverything in the motor.

u put a carby engine from a TN into an EFI TP car correct? the EFI's have an electric fuel pump in the fuel tank. maybe this might be causing some havoc?

are you totally sure that the carby was in top condition? are the secondarys openning? the secondarys run off vacuum and so if u didnt connect the vacuum lines up properly you won't get secondary's

tested the O2 sensor came up ok.. the motors were both efi.. no carby.. thinking maybe that the cams out by a tooth???

ok guys and gals.. all ok cam shaft in wrong location to crank..ie not on tdc spun the chain around to adjust camshaft... fun job. heaps of power and torque now thanks

The short motor between carby and EFI is identical, incidentally. It be only the intake and exhaust that are different. I know.
