Motor is a 94 B18b, car is a 94 civic hb.
The ls ran fine in my old car before I moved this motor over to my new car. We replaced the timing belt and water pump while we had the motor out of the car. After I finished the swap I started it up and it seemed to be running fine with just a little high idle. I adjusted the throttle cable and it seemed to be fine. I let it run for several minutes and didn't hear any weird sounds or see any leaking fluid, so I thought all was good.
I got the car out of the driveway and hit the gas to go down the street and realized that I have no power. I can't see what my rpms are because I haven't swapped over my other cluster yet. But it wasn't going anywhere fast. It seemed like something was almost holding the engine back. I had to get the RPMs up and nearly drop the clutch just to get it back up the driveway and into the garage. I never got a CEL so I don't think something is plugged in wrong. There were two of us that verified everything on the timing belt matched up and that it was on snug. I would think that if it were off a tooth or something it would misfire or idle erratic or something like that.
What could be causing an issue like this? Did I forget something when I hooked everything back up?
Thanks for any help.
