I have had the same motor in 2 other cars...given they were both standard and this one is auto, but it should still have more power than it does. Yes, I am asking for any help on diagnosing the problem. I do not honestly believe that the guy screwed me, because the engine was put in a week before the trade, so he didn't really have the time to notice as it was not his daily driver. And the motor does have low miles on it, I know that 30k sounds a little sketchy, but it is at least a newer motor than what was in it. I know this because I have the block form the old one in my shed.
