Bethlehem,

So I live in Bethlehem, PA. I bought my first DSM (6 Bolt) in March and have been having problems with it since. Eventually had to put a new engine in itbecause of bad piston rings and other things. So I bought an engine and built it with all good parts. Stock pistons etc etc. But now the engine is in and I've conquered all the wiring and the vacuum hoses and everything. Now I'vebeen trying to get it running so I can drive it. Car just runs like crap. Won't keep a stron idle. Feels like its running on 2 cylinders. I pulled the ECU to check it and it looks like it was recently rebuilt by motoguysgarage.com. Plus when turning the car to the on position, the check engine light comes on for 5 seconds then turns off, therefore I know the ECU is gettng power. I just need a lot of help and was wondering if there is anyone in the area with any kind of expertise that could help me figure this thing out. Cars been down since April and I'm getting tired of bumming rides off of people. Any help would be fantastic!!!
