    m20 87 325e. misfires slow acceleration after oilpan replacement

To get pan out I used the method of fly wheel cover removal, nuts removed, engine mounts loosened, then used ac bracket to lift engine to allow for the removal of oil pump(headers/exhaust didn't touch firewall). Remounted everything start car. Now is miss firing and has crappy acceleration. I mean bad like before my friends ka had no chance now a pinto could smoke me. Also have rough idle and before I adjusted the.....idk the name, think its the idle control, vehicle would stall out when at stop.

    Video will be posted soon. Please please help.

    More reading done and inspections

    intake boot cracked *replaced*

    Spark plug wires inspected.

    Also went to get smogged cat needs to be replaced(pre oilpan replacement)

    Checked for leaks non found

    From headers to exhaust connections aren't tight like the heat shield around exhaust needs to be welded but that's it.

    Have CEL have brake lining light, break light and washer fluid lights.

    Do not have a coder and don't really have cash to spare its my

    It sounds to me like there were intake leaks prior to this work and that the movement of the engine has made them worse. Have a shop run a smoke test and repair as indicated.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
