after pulling engine out and reinstalling do you have to reset the computer or something could that be it if so how do you reset the computer?

he unpluged each one of plug wires on front of engine one by one and made it cut out bad but when he unplugged each one of plug wires on back of engine one by one had no effect on running

He put a transmission in with a bad vacuum modulator.

Have the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) solenoid in the transmission checked in case it's making the engine stall. You may be able to have your mechanic disconnect the TCC electrical connector at the transmission and drive the car to see if you still have the problem.
