New engine, same symptoms
Earlier in the month i posted about my engine acting up and spuddering and not running
Well i recently finished my car and put a whole new engine in it, ran the vin and its the same exact engine that i had in my car before. Everything is the same but the car still spudders, is hard to start, backfires at low rpms and will not stay running. I have no idea what it could be at this point. We changed the coil pack, and we might buy a new MAF sensor. but besides that i have no clue what to do. The car has a GReddy turbo kit on it with a turbo upgrade from Turblown. It was tuned by Jeff at mazdamaniac but that was acouple years ago. Help
New engine has VERY good compression levels

That's apparently the most common mistake on an engine replacement. I would theorize that incorrectly hooked up injectors wasn't your prior problem though ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Check the Engine replacement DIY thread for the correct connections.
