Default LS motor idles weird when started, then dies when the car is warm. HELP!!!!!!!!

I have a 2000 honda civic hatchback with an LS motor swap in it that is acting funny. When I start the car, the car pulses really fast, and then when the car is warmed up for about 5-10 minutes, the engine dies.

I have no idea what would make the car die when it is warmed up. Any ideas?

Ya, check engine ligtht is on and I cant read the codes becuase it has a jumper harness on the ECU and a scanner wont work and I heard that the 2 pin process wont work either. SO what do I do?

If the code is 14 I beleive its the iacv.

Which could be a number of things. if its that try
-cleaning it
-and check all the wires coming off of it, and the TPS. they might have cracks in the plastic clips and shorts in the wires. Making that idle happen had same problem with my 99 ex lsv swap, if that dont work maybe replace the whole iacv.
BUT ONLY IF THE CODE IS FOR THE IACV
