no power below 2300 rpms!!
i just got my car up and running after a bad flexplate and now i have no power below about 2300. it is in any gear. below this engine speed, my car is slower than any car ive ever ridden in. it barely will crawl up a small hill. when i pull to a stop while in gear my car will die. i know that it idles way to low while in gear (400 rpms) but its never had this power loss. any ideas would be great. does anyone know how to raise the idle while in gear, this is not my big problem though, i really need this power back because now i try to keep my rpms above 3000 and its killing my gas mileage. thanks

Go back over everything you did to fix the flexplate. Something wasn't put back together correctly.
