Default MAP question...running rich, fouling plugs

Now for the real stump I ran into today. You ready!
Just to start you should know that this b18c1 im working with (is swapped into a 92 civic hatch) Im having a bad running rich problem...foulling plugs.
They Integra harness wire coming from the IAT sensor that is supposed to run next, into the Map sensor on the throttle body was never connected! I know, sounds like...Ohhh theres your problem...oh no theres more confusion!
There was another harness connector coming off the back of the firewall (coming from the civic harness i gather) that WAS connected. So I thought "hey I just tuned and set timing on this thing without the MAP even hooked up! " so If I disconnect this DUMMY harness I should'nt notice a difference cause the real connecter is right here coming from the integra harness".... NOPE when I disconected it , the motor cut off !! [:errr:] If you can POSSIBLY understand what I am portraying it would be a miricle! For some odd reason there are 2 connectors for MAP the one that needs to be hooked up doesnt run right when hooked up and throws a MAP CEL code. The dummy one that I dont understand how it can be running to the computer, when its hooked up it runs with no code. yet I have this bad rich running problem???
Shouldnt the only way to run the MAP be from the integra harness?
anyway Im tired and hope someone has some insight on this part of the fiasco! Atleast a place I can start testing.
Thanks again,
brian
