#2What parts did you swap to fit the 98hp engine? Did you swap everything looms ecu the lot or are we talking some hybrid? Off the top it sounds like simple idle control problem but if you have some how chopped and botched to get it in it may get quite complicated. -

#5I am a little confused as to what you have done there. You can not simply sway most of the early 90bhp parts on to a 98bhp engine as there are many differences. Everything from the inlet bolt pattern to the loom plugs are different.
