3sgte Swap Complete!!! Options

[gtfc115]

well today was the best day in a LOOONG time (about 2 years). i got a call from my guy at the shop and he said the swap was done. OH JOY.

i picked it up and went driving around for a few hours...not really beating on it too bad, but i was giving it some gas a few times. wow this thing is awesome. its tough to find the gears sometimes (i need to re-do my mr2 tranny shifter conversion). and i need to grind down the passenger side engine mount cuz its resting on the timing gear cover.

so now here's the first inevitable problem...i was on my way home on a country road and stepped on it a little, and it died. at first i thought it just stalled so i tried to start it back up, and it died again. i pull over and started it and it idled ok, but if i even touched the gas a little, it died.

i called the shop and he said it sounded like my fuel pump went out. does that sound right to you guys? i was expecting this to happen cuz i was using my 7afe fuel pump (i know, BAD idea). so now's my chance to get a new one.

thanks def. i'll have to post a pic of where my mount is resting against the engine...it doesnt look like the one in the sticky (which i had seen before).

im starting to think (and i wouldnt doubt it) that they used the wrong engine mounts. i bought GT mounts, but mine does not look like part that needs to be grinded...

its so sad because it seems like you did no research and just trusted a place to figure everything out for you. im not trying to be mean by saying that, its just that i think youll have a lot of issues to work out because of your lack of research before starting this project. this is a good example of how a swap can go bad if you make the wrong decisions or dont have a solid game plan.
