Post Engine will start but not idle (electrical issue)

OK, I have a B18 swap in my car (bought it this way) and had a fuse blow for my headlights over the weekend. It took me a while to figure out it was the fuse, so I was looking at wiring connections trying to trace it down. After replacing the fuse I went to go drive it today and it will crank and start, but wont run unless I move the throttle to keep it running. It ran fine with the fuse blown before, so I assume these are two totally separate issues. My assumption is while I was searching for the light issue I must of knocked a wire lose or something. Can you give me some things to look at? I can hear the fuel pump turn on when I key the car on. Keep in mind this was an engine swap, so the wiring is a mess and I was fooling with wires around the engine controller. Thanks for you help.
