I have an 89 hatch with a 93 dohc. The dual cam ran great in the original car it was in. Someone t-boned that car so i decided to swap the engine into my hatch. There is no check engine light on the car starts fine idles at 700 ill push on the gas and it will rev normaly. When i let of the gas it will idle at 1300 to 1500 for about 5 - 10 sec. then go back to normal. Thats a small issue what really bothers me is that when its under load and I try to accelerate the engine revs and sounds like its trying but I feel no power at all. Then at times when i step on it i feel the power it should have. I checked all my grounds they were all connected and tighly on. Any ideas on what it might be? Thanks for your help in advance.

Timing?

I had this issue with my SR, except it would bog under boost, and feel like it was stuttering.

Turned out to be my plugs were shot, and I had 1 bad coilpack.

Try your plugs and wires.
