Default weird idle

Well my car used to run fine, I did a wire tuck now when i start my car it idles fine, however when i push on the gas and hold it at about 2k rpms it will begin to bounce down to 1k to 2k, and it will do this the higher i hold the rpms back to 1k

i.e.

Bounces from
2k to 1k
3k to 1k
4k to 1k
5k to 1k

Sounds like a vaccuum problem to me however i cant find any open lines, i also did get rid of the charcoal canister, any help would be well appreciated

Please dont do a wire tuck unless you plan on doing it clean, and slowly... You will have nothing but troubles with it if you rush. One other thing... if you modify a harness like this, its very hard to make mistakes, and NOBODY will be able to troubleshoot. Please please please take your time, and dont try it unless you have a VERY good idea of what to do
Good luck everyone </TD></TR></TABLE>

I asked for help

And to note if you dont think taking two weeks is enough time to slowly do it right then you are out of your mind, let me add that you have no idea how long it took me, let alone my experience as a electrician, the car starts and have no cels, so in that case i guess i did take my time

GocrxGo actually i did do it exactly however i didnt run the tube from the firewall to the tube at the bottom near the rear crossmember, i wonder if that could be my problem, I also did a dpfi to mpfi from dx to b16, and i might have mixed injector 1 with injector 2 just wait haha i know whats wrong, thanks guys

Why would it be a vac leak or have anything to do with your char canister?. Think about it, if your car ran fine before you did the wire tuck, then it's something electrical, another words you probally "IMO" popped out a wire of a plug or left something unplugged somewhere, this is taking into consideration that you did not do anything else to the car and ONLY a wire tuck, for example you did not change your coolant/water recently?, and maybe have air in your cooling system.

well when i did the wire tuck i took the vaccuum lines out to make it easier to get the harness out also when you remove the charcoal canister you have alot of vacuum lines with nothing to run to so i figured i might have not plugged one up correctly, however i did wire my injectors up backwards which i thought was the problem however i fixed it and i still have the problem, any other ideas, oh yea i have proper spark from all of the plugs so it has nothing to do with the dizzy
