No acceleration
I recently had a new engine placed in my 97 automatic. im trying to work out the kinks and one problem im having is no acceleration till about almost 4k. i have a code for a knock sensor but was told if it was bad it wouldnt run. so i changed plugs wires fuel filter but still nothing, my only other thought was that the mechanic didnt tune it right after install. any thoughts will help!

If you have a STOCK 97 there isnt anything to tune unless you had something else tuned into the PCM previously.
What DTCs are you seeing????? Please post them. If you have a lot of DTCs clear them and see what comes back.

the code read knock sensor bank 1 bank 2 low circuit. i have taken them out and cleaned them up and reconnected them to ensure a good connection. and today i when i was driving noticed its not 4 grand but more in the 2k range. it is stock i have borla straight pipes and thats only after market. so it is more than likely not a tuning issue?
