Wire in a toggle switch to check what codes you are throwing. I had the exact same thing when I swapped my B18C1 into my EF, wired it all to be OBD1. It turned out to be IAC problem. Wired the IAC properly and it left limp mode.

There are instructions on the Rywire website on how to wire in a toggle switch.
