hard start by engine, engine quench when in reverse often, after replacing engine with a fairly used one, check engine light is constantly ON.but smooth on ride when it starts.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.

Check and test the coolant temperature sensor and idle air control motor.
