Have you tried swapping the MAP and IACV plugs? They are the only two sensors that have the same plug on the throttle body. I noticed in my swap that the plugs kinda "wanted" to be route to the wrong sensors. It seemed like I had to "pull" one of the plugs to fit.

what ecu are you running the motor on? clean the throttle body/IACV, (or just buy a new IACV) make sure your vacuum lines are hooked up right, and ^^ has a very good point. You might also want to source yourself an LS Intake Mani, ive heard b20 mani's have problems in these swaps with vacuum leaks but dont quote me on that.
