Default Mini-me won't hold idle - possible electric probs?

Hey guys,
Hoping someone can fill me in....

A little background:
D16A block w/ Z6 head, VAFC-I
Did a full rebuild and put back in and now the idle won't hold. My timing is on and we are getting fuel and spark. It will run after about 3 cranks and then it will hold idle for about 30 seconds and slowly the rpms drop. If we give it gas it will keep running. We did this the other days and black smoke starting pouring out of the exhaust. We are getting a code 11.
O - the reason I think it could be electrical is because the rad fan comes on when the engine runs - almost immediately.
I'm trying to think if I forgot any pertinent information.
Anyone have any ideas? All the plugs from the wiring harnesses seem to be in the right places.
Any and all input is appreciated.

Thanks!

yeah i noticed that - that's what is F*d up about it. The ECU flashes 11 times and then stops. Therefore, I would call that a code 11, but there isn't a damn code 11. Maybe I should just push this thing off a cliff...
