Did you ever resolve this? I have exact same symptoms and one of the codes being thrown up is also 14 IAC sensor.

Since your original motor used a 3-wire IACV:

Did you cut off the 3-pin IACV connector and graft on the 2-pin connector from the GS-R harness?

Did you do the wire swap at the ECU connector?

What ECU are you using (using an adpater harness as well)?

In my instance I actually have not made any changes just pulled into gas station and would not start again. I was just surprised that the IACV would prevent the engine from starting. I get four codes up air sensor, TDC sensor, MAP sensor and IACV sensor. none of which I would have thought engine stopping in the short term.

I have checked the IACV and there is no battery voltage at the plug so a problem for sure but why would this stop the engine starting?

, yup you have to re wire your 3 wire Dx iacv into a 2 wire plug, then rewire the wires into the ecu also..... its another thread floating around that shows how to do it

No voltage at the IACV connector - well, if you had a Helms, you would also see that the voltage that feeds the IACV also feeds the injectors and ECU.

This voltage comes from the Main Relay as well.
