have you checked the timing? if so, double check it. do K's have distributors? I think they're coil on wire if memory serves me... but if I'm wrong, then check the firing order.

No check engine light?
Could it be possible that its running on limp mode?
(not sure how K's work..lol)

FIRST THING....CHECK why the Check engine light is ON.
There's a reason why its on.
It could be making you go into blimp mode.
....Engine management light is there for a reason..lol

To check timing, take the upper timing belt cover off and manually turn the crank to TDC (you may want to remove spark plug #1 and probe in the cylinder to make sure the piston is really at the top). Then check the marks on the cam gears. I think it will be like the B series DOHC's that have a single slash mark on the edge of the gear. Properly timed at TDC1, the two marks will point at each other at the center. (If they are at the outside, this is the other TDC; turn the crank all the way around exactly one turn.) If you have aftermarket adjustable cam gears make sure they are set to zero.
