Exclamation 3.0L to 3.0L swap, urgent help in Denver!!

I jsut did a swap 3.0 to 3.0 on my 90 runner, It is running and stuff but runs like crap and has no power. I am not looking for ideas to try. If some one localy can come over and actually look at it and tell me if it is a good engine or not and/or maybe help me fix it I would be very happy.

It is urgent becasue I have 2 kids and i need a vehicle to drive them around safely and leagaly. I have them for the next 5 days then they go back with they're mom for 1 day and then with me for another 5, don't ask why just a longer story. I can not afford to take to a shop and pay them to tell me whats wrong with it or that it is bad. Lets just say this is almost the last nail in the cofin for me.

Any one who can please pm me so i can have you call me or something I will be trying to figure out more things tomarrow. between taking my kids to and from school. so i will be around all day.

Thanks in advance,
Brandi

double check that you got your plug wires on correctly and in the correct order on the distributer

It just makes you feel like you are as big as a ant when you replace the whole engine and fab a make shift exhaust system and you go and mix up the 2 and 4 spark plug wire's.

That was it and the having gas in the tank for over a year and 1/2 doesn't help either. Thanks for the replies.
