B18B1 swap hatch, idle & acceleration problems.
Just got done swapping a known good B18B1 into my 1995 CX hatchback, but now I'm having some problems. Cold idle fluctuates around 1500-1700 and when it's warm it idles right about 1400. I have adjusted the throttle cable and idle adjustment screw is all the way in. I've cleaned my FITV and my IACV, I even replaced the IACV with a known working one when cleaning it didn't resolve the issue. Also, when the car is at operating tempurature I can't go WOT or else it bogs out a bit til around 4,000 rpms and when I'm driving normally it's just choppy. I'm running a chipped P05 w/ an LS basemap, the shop has even burned multiple different ones (setting the idle lower) in order to try and fix the issue, but nothing is working. My coolant is full and bled, I have no vacuum leaks, no CEL, I have replaced the injectors with known good ones and I know my distributor is good.

Just tried replacing the throttle body, didn't see any change. Also, when I cover the IACV hole on the throttle body the idle drops to a steady 1,000ish
