Installed new engine, and got unsolved problems... Options

[Iceman22]

Hi.
This week the workshop finished swapping engine (3s-ge) from a JDM ST202 into mine AT200 (7A-FE). The whole exhaust incl. the cat was also swapped. The new engine only had 80000 miles before the swap.
Almost everything seems too be fine except this:

1. Rough idling and very poor engine performance (feels like 60hp). Engine gets very warm when driving. Also when the engine is cold and I start it, I have to give some gas in the beginning or it will shut down. The muffler is also making abnormal noise.

2. Fuel gauge is showing lowest position and yellow lamp lighting. Before I delivered the car it was showing half tank.


What can be the cause for these problems and where should I start for solving these problems asap?
The ECU hasn't been swapped yet.

And sorry for my bad english..

Aw, for a second I thought you might find some humor in something. Ah well, beggers can't be choosers.

Do you own a Celica? Or have in the past. I see nothing in your profile. Just curious.

Got more then 80, actually have quite a bit of parts coming in, and magically they cost me more then 80 bucks.../gasp, was hoping you might actually find humour in your "bitter"ness. Why are you so bitter btw? Genetics? Do YOU not have 80 dollars to mod your car? Cause if you don't, you DEFINATELY should not be modding your car. That'll just come back and bite ya in the butt. "Trust me"


Back on Topic: GL sir with your swap, and I hope it all works out for ya, regardless of the flashing and troubles. Hopefully you get the correct ECU in there, and get that new engine running like it should. Props on the swap, and looking forward to more details!
