i was just wondering if anyone could helpme figure out the problem with my car.

i just rebuilt my engine and everything was going fine.but now that there are about 2000 miles on the motor my carmisses from about 2k -4.5k rpms.

sometimes it is really bad when im at 1/2 throttle the car stalls so bad that it will not go anywhere and will loosespeed untill i push the pedal to the floor.

a couple of weeks ago the car overheated because my water pump was leaking but i put another on it.

but now my temp gauge fluctuates.any help would be much appreciated.

It might, code 13 is what your looking for

If your cts is missing/dead, your car should automatically turn on all the fans and your idle raised.

Check ECU, best bet.
