If you did not change all the wiring harnesses and the Powertrain Control Module, and if your transmission is not the same as the vehicle that the replacement engine came from when you changed your engine size, your computer system does not know what to do. It cannot control either the engine or the transmission correctly. This is why it is against Federal regulations to replace an engine with an engine that is not the same as the engine that the vehicle was originally equipped with.
