Default recent wire tuck, car floods and cuts fuel in 3rd gear

pretty much as title states. 92 vx. Us gsr. Before the wire tuck and fuel line change it ran good and was dyno tuned with hondata s100, it now floods at start up. I have to crank it and hold the gas down a Quater of the way and feather it to keep it alive. It smooths out eventually. But if I hit the gas a little too light, it will bog.

2nd problem is, if I'm on the interstate and I want to drop it into 3rd gear and punch it it cuts out as if its getting no fuel or no spark..

I've already changed ecu and dizzy, no changes. I've changed spark plugs as well. I'm thinking ice got a plug backwards.. Halp!!

My buddy had the same problem with his hatch, but he did just a basic wire tuck.... and turns out he also did an oil change and tune up the same day...... (is spark plug gapping was off just a little.... and was making him bogs out if he didn't have the right fuel amount at start up.....) you recently change spark plugs???
