Default Symptoms of having the MAP and TPS sensor plugs switched

If you have the MAP and TPS sensor plugs switched what happens?

I'm runing a stock b16a2, stock ecu, fuel pressure set to 38psi, timing marks are fine. Drove around, CEL comes on, car sputters/bogs at 3500-4000 rpm. I can not give it full throttle. I slow down let the car idle, and the idle keeps hunting at 1000-1500 rpm. I shut off car, the CEL disappears.

Prior to this the TPS sensor was adjusted on another motor to wutever the specs shoudl have been. Just took head from taht motor and put it on a stock b16.

I've searched and no one has really answered this... So next time someone searches they can see the problem and diagnose it on their own if they have the same problems. TIA

The easiest thing would be to switch the plugs and see if your problem is corrected.

didnt not? So you did?

When you have the plugs switched, the car will run very rich, puff smoke, maybe even backfire.
