I had this same exact problem with my ls/vtec. I couldn't figure it out. I went from changing tps and map sensors to changing ecus. Checkin the timing. Wired the fuel injectors straight to my ecu. But I was also using a obd2 ls dizzy with an obd1 adapter. I just ended up selling the motor for dirt cheap. Hope some one can help you out so you don't make that decision
