Default Problem after engine changeout, 99 Neon

There is definately something with your computer/sensors. I know that
until the engine reaches running temp, there are verious sensors that
are set to open circuit. I do not know the whole list of them other
then the O2 sensor, which would not cause that issue. The engine you
put into the car, was it the same as that that came out? If the
transmission and engine type are not the same as what the ECU was
programmed for, this would be your issue.
