Question Problems with Auto LS1...

I have just turned on my LS1, 4l60e tranny, that I have fitted into my 240sx, but I'm having a couple of problems... here they are:

My car feels rich in low rpms in first gear, its as if its wanting to redline but then suddenly on 2500rpms drives normally, (u all probably know how it feels when ur car is rich down low) Things not yet done on my car are, PCV system, its broken from nearly everywhere... I need a new one... my second problem is that I don't have 02 sensors yet... (which one is a more relevant issue to my problem)

My second problem is that I have installed my Fan outside of the normal operating system of the ECU, so I have an external temp sensor which activates my fan, does that harm or reduce anything in my car?!

ok what about my temp sensor, the one on drivers side head... I have that plugged in and attached to my ECU, but my fans are being triggered from an outside temp sensor... is that a problem? does that cause any complications?!

Id say before trying to diagnose your problem, fix the issues you know you already have. If you know you need o2 sensors and a new PCV system, then get her all patched up then see how she's running. Do you have a tune on it?
