I pulled a good motor from 2007 pacifica to put in this car. Changed all sensors, changed timing belt prior to installation. Once installed the car will start and run but only if giving it gas. Hesitates on idle and dies. When driving no power won't get over 40mph, tranny shifts slow. I rechecked the timing, crank gear was about 3/4 turn forward, I repulled the belt reset time. I only moved the crank 1/4 turn verified TDC on #1 plug reset belt. Cranked it over a few times timing was still good. I've ran the car some since then timing is still dead on. The only cel I get is idle air temp sensor. I changed that still get code. Sometimes the CEL will flash for a minute then stop. Fuel pressure is 55psi. I've changed plugs which keep ending up black on 1 3 5 cylinders. Checked fire to all coils and checked all injectors are clean and firing fuel. Changed intake gasket as well. What else am I missing? Could me only turning the crank to complete that 1 revolution put it 180 out of time?
