You have put a 2Lt 8v engine out of mk3 golf in 89 mk2 and the runs but it will not rev?

Potential causes:

. Vacuum leaks: Check all vacuum hoses and connections for any cracks or leaks. This can result in incorrect air/fuel mixture going into the engine.

2. Faulty Engine Management System:

- Check for any fault codes stored in the ECU using a diagnostic tool or have it professionally diagnosed.

3. Fuel System Issues:

- Check fuel pressure to ensure that the fuel system is delivering enough fuel.

- Inspect the fuel filter and make sure it is not clogged.

4. Timing Issues:

- Ensure that the timing belt is installed correctly and not skipped a tooth.

- Check the ignition timing to ensure the spark is happening at the correct time.

5. Ignition System:

- Test the spark plugs, spark plug wires and the ignition coil to make sure they're functioning correctly.

6. Airflow issues:

- Check the air filter to make sure it is not blocked.

7.Faulty Sensors:

- Check for any faulty sensors such as the Oxygen sensor, Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor, and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) as these can affect engine performance.
