Why did you do mpfi wiring if it was an si? Came with mpfi and are you map and tps plugs swapped? You check for vacumn leaks by spraying brake or carb clean till the idle changes. Spray all around the intake ie gaskets vacumn lines and so forth. What pins did you move on the wiring? What ecu you using?

WTF does bleeding the head mean? Recheck your wiring. Are all injectors pulsing?
