305tbi to 350

i have a 91 rs that had a 305 tbi in it, the motor went bad so i threw in a 350.i figured that the ecm could compensate for the change, but it just dont run right.so i changed the injectors to 350 truck injectors, the esc to a 350 esc, knock sensor to 350, but i still get code 43, and at idle like crap only in closed loop when the thermistat opens. im not sure if this is a ecm issue or a motor issue? what else do i have to change to get it to run right?

My only true suggestion is you need to get a custom chip. Also, make sure you have your timing set and no vacuum leaks. If you have all that taken care of your car should run pretty well. But just to let you know, it may take a little while to get the 350 to run perfectly, it took me a long time to tune it right.

Try to be more specific. You say it doesn't run right .What is it doing or not doing. Example, is it backfiring? does it bog? is it at certain rpm's? You have to be alittle more descriptive. You say you threw a 350 in it. Stock? Modified? Pickup truck? LT1 corvette? What is it out of? Camshaft specs would be helpful.

are you running the stock chip, if so get a caprice cop car chip, those things came with L98 cams and 350 TBIs so it should work perfectly with your engine (considering you have a L98 block and assuming the stock cam). Go to ebay and search "tbi cop" and the chip should come up, only $30.
