Check that the ground up by the fuse box under the hood is connected. It is used for the tcs system. I forgot it when installing a new motor in my car a while back, and when I grounded it the traction system worked again.

Does the used motor have a decent sized cam? If it does, you need to adjust your min and max MAP sensor values by about 30% (assuming you have no vaccuum leaks in the intake). Actually I should have asked if you're throwing a P0106 code. If you are, then that is why your TCS is acting erratic.
