Never underestimate the "power" of human error. With engine swaps being quite the undertaking, it can be taxing on memory (mine for sure).

Back tracking is the best suggestion out there. Sorry. Really have to double check. I had to look and feel behind part of my engine for a disconnected temp sender ground after an invasive job on my 4runner.

Man did I use my mirror and it still left me scratching my head.

With sluggish symptoms, I would think of checking for vac leaks, throttle position, carb buildup, sensor dysfunctions, anything in the engine replaced, and so on.

Wish I could help. Best of luck!
