  • rough idle stalling after engine swap

    ok swapped out the motor in my grand am with a 05 3400 with 300 miles on it.
    got everything back together and now it will idle around 2grand and then gradually die off completely stalling the car out. this is a brand new motor practically, it should run fine.
    already checked th iac and swapped out throttlebodies cause the plenum and tb were diff than what i had. but everything else is brand new.
