2003 dodge neon se .

2003 dodge neon se . Recently replaced engine dude to head gasket blown . Engine was used but had all tests passed. Didn’t have any issues other than that .

It’s now having a hard time idling when starting . 
Once it reaches operating temp it drives just fine . Also noticing a strong smell of exhaust outside of the car which never happened before . 
Throttle body replaced 

02 sensors replaced ( even tho check engine is still throwing sensor codes ) 

 

Any idea ? It almost feels like a pulse at idle when starting car .

Check for the fuel injectors and spark plugs.

I also have some other questions:

  1. What is the current mileage after the motor swap?
  2. Where particularly did you buy this motor?
  3. What codes are being thrown?
  4. Did you check for any leaks on the car?

The current mileage is roughly 170,000

The motor was bought at B&R WRECKING

ONLY CODES 02 sensors which both have been replaced 

There are zero leaks
