Timing. Did you check it?

BTW, what car are we even talking about? What engine?
Maybe you need to cough up more details if you want decent advice.

If you're going to ignore what I asked then just skip it.

YOu need to check the timing.

Is the check engine light on?

If you're going to only answer every other question this is going to take a long time.

Is the check engine light on?

Check to make sure your Map sensor is properly connected and not mixed up with the TPS connector.

The only thing "wrong" that we know about is your thread. You haven't given us ANY relevant information, and you expect us to miraculously tell you what's wrong. You need to give us ALL relevant information. FULL engine code, head code, any work done, ECU being used, CELs, wiring harness being used, chassis it's in, as well as anything else that might be relevant.

You can't just say "I have a D15 and it isn't running right, what's wrong?" We aren't mind readers, and we aren't magicians.

i just replaced the motor. when i did that i but my old intake manifold on it replaced my tps and the check engine light comes on ofter it idles like a tractor for a little. i blocked off what i think is my iac valve and that makes the check engine light come on, after it comes on it idles fine and each time i turn on the car the code resets.

I gave you a very short list of things you need to tell us, and you answered exactly ZERO of those queries. If you aren't willing to tell us those things, do everyone who is trying to help you a favor and just stop posting. If you aren't capable of posting those things, tell us why you aren't capable and we can try to fix that problem.

There used to be a time when threads like this got locked with a quickness
