Default b20vtec bad idle and choke on rev's please help???

i just put the motor in today and put it all together and it starts right up.. it has low idle surge like 1200rpms when lil warm it jump 1200-1800rpms and drops back down! was thinking tb gasket leak?? i have a victor x intake manifold and a sk2 throttle body with a 68mm thermal gasket! could this be the problem? also the victor x manifold iacv weird looks like its universal d and b series iacv. i think i have a d series one on it right now. could that be a problem? also i put a new blox tps on it and did the ohms reading and they are correct.48ish closed and5.00 wot! or is it diff readings i should have? it seems to hold fuel pressure i set it for 45ish psi right now where should it be exactly? and when i give it short revs it wants to choke and die? wtf could be that problem? if i hold the gas down rev it up to like 3000rpms it seems to rev fine.. i dont get it can someone please give me some feedback.. i dont wanna f this engine up! well hope someone can help me.. thanks in advanced HONDA TECH MEMBERS

If you are using a d series harness, the iacv plug converts over from a 3 plug to a 2 plug, so that might be your problem right there.
