Default 01 accord new motor not running right?

Just put a new motor in my buddies 01 accord (f23a4) it starts up and idles fine but if I just bearly give it gas it will either die or rev to about 3k then hit fuel cut and drop back down to 500rpm. I swapped the throttle body from the original motor, and the same thing. So im pretty sure its not the map or tps but I haven't tested either. Help is always appreciated.

Any additional hints, like (maybe) a Check Engine Lamp DTC?
Without verifying the entire engine installation, it will be near impossible to put a finger on it. I would start there. Recheck all the harness routings and connections. If this started immediately upon the swap, then the swap was the problem.

check you didn't switch the MAP and TPS sensor plugs when you put it back in. Thats a super easy mistake to make.
