Default help with b16 swap idle problem...gurus please help

swapped b16a sir2 motor in 95 dx civic....it idles fine, but when i press on the gas, the idle surges, and if i press on the gas further, it dies....its throwin a iacv light, but i know its good cuz ive had 3 in it. im thinkin a vacuum problem...my d15b7 had a purge control solenoid and the b16 doesnt, so i have a hose from my charcoal canister that doesnt go anywhere. when i unhook one vacuum hose, it starts surging..hook it back up and it idles fine, just like it surges when i press on the gas when everything is hooked up...i have no freakin idea, i swapped 2 weeks ago and still havent figured it out, searched and searched, i need my car....please help me figure this out

ok, i figured it out, the tps and map connecters were switched, the connecters are the same and next to each other, i had them crossed........unplugged them, switched them, and now it runs smooth....my map is on the throttlebody, not the firewall
