swapped motor and now it runs like crap
i blew up a 22RE and swapped it for another one, now it feels like the timing is off. it will run, but it won't run for crap, its got a miss and if you try to accelerate quickly it seems like it wants to stall out and misses, its fine if you just ease into the throttle though.
anyone else have this same problem?

Without looking at the engine, this is just speculation, but it sounds like your distributor advance is not working. I would check that by looking at the timing marks with a timing light as you give it some throttle. It is easy to misconnect or forget wire and vaccum hoses during an engine install, and that may be the problem.
Godd luck.

Maybe. The distributor is not advanced via vaccum, but the ECU is reading vaccum when it commands the distributor to advance.
I would study the vaccum line diagram in the FSM on the sticky and make sure you have everything connected to the proper place.

22RE is a vacume nightmare.
is it normal for these motor to have alot of top end rattle? like a loud ticking noise

Glad you got the engine running. You notice I advised study, not read the vaccum diagram, it is a complicated system.
It would not hurt to adjust the valves. The valve train is pretty noisy though.
