Subject: [a2-16v-list] No power/low end on new 2.0

 

The junkyard 2.0 w/new headgasket, TT Euro intake cam and a new
distributor and O2 sensor can rev (slowly) to 5k+, idles like factory
new and I can barely back out of my slightly uphill driveway. What power
it has comes on after 3k and under any load it justs pops and does
nothing. 
Changed out anything I could think of, coolant temp sensor, plugs,
wires, injectors, ignition module, kock module. No vacuum leaks. The
only things I don't have 2 of are DPR, knock sensor and the O sensor
module. I did every test except the DPR since O don't have that harness
and am reluctant to hack the one on the car. Dropped the timing belt
back a tooth, then forward once now I back to 0.
Also the tachometer seems to show higher revs than what the engine
sounds like. @ 3k the 1.8 made some noise the 2.0 is almost idle quiet
(like around 1.7krpm).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve
