I just had my mechanic install a 7afe in my 95 ST, because the old engine was shot. It worked fine for two weeks, then now, problems. My check engine light comes on, the engine idles extremely low in neutral, then shuts down. I have to keep my foot on the pedal just to keep it from stalling. This is a good engine from a 97 corolla with 30K miles. Why is this happening???

check your throttle cable to make sure it is nice and snug. also check the throttle return cable if you car has one. Otherwise the throttle spring might be bad. It should idle between 800-1000 Rpm's with only slight fluctuations. You might want to also check your sparkplugs to make sure there gapped right.
