Default b18 swap in 88crx throttle/idle problem

I did the swap last week. I converted everything to obd0 so i wouldnt have to a harness conversion. I switched out the cap, rotar, new fuel filter are duralast from autozone and plugs are ngks. I ran good the first day after we set the timing. now we start it idles good but the second you hit the throttle its bogs and rpms drop. any thoughts.

check the throttle cable for binding, and check your fuel pump. I swapped a b16 and it ran great except when you hit full throttle under load... got a new pump but havnt tested it yet as the car is not registered. Also check all you vac lines, and the iacv.

its the spark plugs im fauling them. Im guessing its the no o2 sensor and header leak. those 2 problems will be fix end of the week. maybe timing also i timed it but reading the repair manual it says i have to put a jumper on 2 wires but when you unplug that harness for timing advance it kills the engine.
