I recently acquired a Chilean Chevrolet LUV with a 2.2-liter engine,
completely disassembled. I managed to find all the engine parts and sensors. The problem is that it doesn't accelerate properly; the engine limits its acceleration to 2000 RPM, causing backfiring. All the sensors and the ignition coil are new. Could someone guide me? I'd like to know the resistance value in ohms of the crankshaft position sensor, as all the tests I've done point to it.

If you're getting backfiring from the exhaust, it's most likely a timing issue, but is that sensor a Hall effect sensor? How many wires does it have?

The sensor has three wires, very similar to the one on the Corsa and Optra, and it's not a Hall effect sensor. I've already checked the timing chain; it's at the correct points, and the knocking occurs at high RPMs. At idle, it runs perfectly smooth with no issues.

First, a warm greeting to all members of this forum.
After replacing the computer, injectors, TPS sensor, MAP sensor, knock sensor, ignition coil, fuel pump, and even the odometer sensor (which had nothing to do with the problem), I discovered that the issue was with the crankshaft position sensor. It wasn't damaged, but its resistance was incorrect. I had been swayed by one of those salespeople who sell parts just to make a sale, not to help solve the problem. Let me explain: the problem was that the resistance should have been above 1.00 ohms, not below 7.00 ohms. I also discovered something curious: the original sensor is polarized, while the replacement sensor is normally reversed, causing misfires, loss of power, and even overheating. I'm sharing this information so that no one else has to go through what I did.
