i got a question? i recently bought my riviera...about a year ago for 500$ (needed a motor). i replaced the motor and it drove fine at first maybe a couple weeks or so and then it started driving weak. the acceleration is slow and the rpms drop when accelerating. when i get to about 50mph the rpms go from about 2000 to 1500. and also i think the manifold is wrong on it the OEM o2 sensor doesnt fit into the grooves it seems to big. and th o2 sensor isnt plugged up neither to the harness. somebody please help me out!!!!

Wrong thread to post this in dude Acceleration Slow, RPM Drops Nono
Maybe AA can be nice enough to move it for 'ya Acceleration Slow, RPM Drops Icon_win

Anyway, you mentioned the O2 isn't plugged in, and/or doesn't fit into the manifold? You need to fix that problem ASAP man. Without the O2, the car will run like bawlz. Acceleration Slow, RPM Drops Smoke
