Provided that you used all the stock sensors and wiring from the 86 the ecu should not have a problem controlling the motor. By 91 GM had changed the engine managment system to speed density as opposed to maf sensor but that was only the electronics, the motors themselves are not all that different from each other. The 91 has a roller cam and different heads.
Did you do the swap yourself, or did the mechanic do it?
