B16 supercharged running like ****
I have a 98 civic with a b16 swap and a jackson supercharger it has a hondata ecu. i bought the car with a bad idle and i cleaned the idle air control valve. the car ran better for a few days but then the idle went back to being the way it was. now 2 months after buying the car its been acting up. if im driving down the street and just barely touch the accelerator it does nothing until i give it more gas and then it jerks itself, but i can see the vaccum gauge go down so my throttle body is opening like it should. i think its probably my throttle position sensor. and 2wice in the last 2 weeks its done this thing where it just dosent have any power and wont go over 4500rpm if i let it idle it dies on me i shut it off and clean the throttle body and it starts up just fine and goes back to normal. any sugestions???

That sounds like a TPS problem. Either wiring or the sensor itself.
Hook the hondata up to your computer and data log the TPS values to confirm.

i dont know if its a wideband or not. the air/ fuel ratio gauge seem too run lean most of the time tho specially at low rpm and idle
