So I've got a replacement engine, but there are a few problems, 1st, the engine doesn't feel like the same. I mean I couldn't really describe it, but it just feels so different from 1-3k

Here's a video of a long start. (it was a warm one, but cold start behaves the same)

What could this be? Bad starter? It was perfect starts every time up until the engine died. (Engine kept cranking but won't start, and dealer diagnosed as replacement needed)

and... much to my noobness, I don't know if this is normal, since I've never crept around 1k on 2nd gear, but the other day I stumbled upon doing that.

and there's this weird noise from 1k-3k. Could that be related to how the engine feels different in this rpm range?

Thanks for anyone's input in advance.

**** i just realized the noise from the radar detector covered the crankings, i'll post another vid without the radar later today.
