You need to check if everything had been reconnected correctly. Start with a check for trouble codes.

Thank you for your quick response.
I would ask you about what do you mean by trouble codes.
Now, someone told me that it needs to reprogram its computer.
Is that real I have to reprogram it after I change the engine.


Thank you so much.

No, changing engine do not require reprogramming, only changing the engine computer needs reprogramming.
