Default HELP check engine light on 92 eg from b18b1 swap dealing with TPS

i have had my engine swaped to ls b18b1 in my 92 eg dx and during the swap the tps broke so i used the 1.5dx throttle body til i could get tps sensor for ls and the dx throttle body lost power and hesitation on pull off with loud sucking noise and i used it for a little over a month and the check engine light came on with tps and it ran bad so i got tps for ls throttle body and installed and i marked the spot were i took broke 1 off and i line it up and put it on
the code went away but CEL light still on and car is sluggish and wont pull off under 2300rpm
smells like something burning (CAT CONVERTER OR VERY RICH OR LEAN) and i hear injectors missfire the haynes manaul say all simptoms of tps and i have changed mine
i tryed to calibrate it by turning it but only makes worst
MY BIG QUESTION IS HAS ANYONE EVER HAD THE TPS PROBLEM AFTER B18 SWAP WHEN THEY HOOK THERE THROTTLE BODY UP FULLY INTACK NEVER BROKE SINCNE I HAVE NEVER HAD IT HOOKED UP OFF LS BEFORE IT BROKE IS IT SOMETHING I DOING WRONG I TOOK OF DX MAP SENSOR ARE THERE OTHER WIRES I SHOULD DISCONNECT OR ADD IM USING THE LS HARNESS ON THE ENGINE FOR MAP AND TPS WITH STOCK DX HARNESS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CAR.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD FIND A COMPLETE OBD1 B18 OR B20 THROTTLE BODY WITH AT LEAST A FACTORY TPS I DONT REALLY NEED MAP I HAVE ONE

did you plug the right harness to the map and tps, they both use the same plug and people sometimes plug the wrong one in

did you calibrate ur tps, its supposed to be 4.5 open and .5 closed
