Icon6 b20 problems after warms up.

so i just did a b20b swap in to my hatch, the car already has a fule pump problem where the fule pump doesnt turn on when i turn the car on. but now when i drive and it warms up and after it is warmed up if i ever let it idle for any long amount of time the heater will be on but then start blowing cold air out then the car drives like ***, i press on the gass and it makes a cutting out sound and revs high but has to fight just to get to 25mph and will only run a little less like *** in 4th gear. also the temp gauge doesnt move at all just stays midway in between hot and cold. after about 5 minutes of driving like *** the car will die or drive fine but the check engine light will come on....so am i about to blow my engine? and how do you fix this?

i have a built y8 in my hatch with a p73 jdm itr ecu. . . mine had trouble running after it warmed up with no check engine light . . . after tinkering around for a while i tried just unplugging the o2 sensor . . . check engine light is on now but car drives great . . . my conclusion the heater circut of the o2 was bad but it was still reading thats why it never threw a CEL. easy thing to try if you want to
