    89 240sx Hesitation

    I have a 89 240sx automatic with ka24e engine. The motor was just replaced
    with a junkyard motor with 30k miles. Once i got it back, there seemed to
    be some hesitation. Off the line, if i dont give it too much gas, it
    stutters a bit, but if i give it a decent amount of gas, it seems to be
    fine. Also, when i get around 2500 rpm's, the power seems to go away, this
    happens all the way up till 3500 rpms. Once past there, it doesnt seem to
    have any problems. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be the
    problem? Thanks

    BTW, this did happen with the other motor.

    That should simplify it then. Just look at the parts that were kept from
    the old motor.

    I was thinking it was something other than the motor, since it is the same
    thing it was doing with the old motor.

    Stumble while accelerating - test and check all of the following

    Contaminated or low grade fuel.
    Fuel filter clogged - low fuel pressure.
    Fuel line clogged - low fuel pressure.
    Return line clogged - excess fuel pressure.
    Idle switch sticking off, poor connection or badly adjusted.
    Mixture ratio adjustment on MAF if fitted.
    Ignition leads.
    Fuel pressure regulator - low pressure.
    Fuel pump - low pressure.
    Engine temp sensor.
    Injectors.
    Plugs.
    Coil.
    Ignition amp.
    Crank angle sensor/igniton pickup.
    Air fillter clogged.
    Leaks or faults (if flooded with petrol, mixture will go way too rich
    as throttle opened) on evap canister purge system.
    Inlet duct leaks between MAF and throttle.
    Throttle plate and body clean with full throttle plate movement.
    MAF - faulty or poor earth in loom.
    O2 sensor if fitted.
    ECU - check for codes.

    Stall while loading - test and check all of the following

    Ignition timing
    Low idle
    Idle air AAC blocked or faulty.
    FICD not opnening or full of crud.
    Idle switch remaing off.

    I've heard lots of cases of people replacing parts at random to fix
    faults. A common one is to replace the expensive MAF when the fault
    is a poor earth in the loom - 30min max with a soldering iron, the
    hard part is finding a technician that can use a volt meter to
    diagnose it and an auto electrician to do it. But this is the first
    time I have heard of someone replacing the whole engine! Were you
    told by a professional mechanic to change the engine? I would advise
    you to sue them for the cost of the unnecessary work as it failed to
    fix the problem.

    same 
    from 

    The problem with the old engine was leaking injectors. With the dealer
    quoting $850 to fix that problem, and another $1000 to install a new timing
    chain and guides, i decided to go with a new engine. I found the 30k motor
    for 750, and i had a friend install it for me, who charged 250. He's been
    workin on cars for years, ase certified and all that junk, and has a badass
    Bigfoot Special, so i trust his work. the random replacing of parts might
    happen anyway, just so i know everything is new. Either way, i'd like to
    fix the problem first, and then just get other stuff as i feel necessary.
