Default IACV and TPS help!

I just recently blew a motor and had to put a new one in my 97' dx...once i got the motor in, it was throwing 3 check engine lights for iacv, tps, and 2nd o2 sensor...what i dont get is, the iacv and tps were working fine right before the swap, and is it normal for both to go out at the same time? or is there a possibility that i might have gotten some lines mixed up in reference to the iacv coolant lines? any help would be awesome. thankyou

your coolant lines will not cause your CEL to come on. The coolant lines simply help warm your engine up faster. They have nothing to do with the operation of the IACV.

Try cleaning it like the guy above me said to do. I do not think that it is a connection problem because its not throwing a CEL, (i would know because i had to replace my IACV).

My idle did that before in my old integra. It was in part because my IACV wasen't bolted up all the way. You could also hear air humming from the intake manifold. Hope this helps
