Icon2 RPM is Erratic and Fluctuates when driving Hard, EG Civic with B18C1 swap

To make a long story short, I finally got most of the bugs fixed with my swap, but the RPM fluctuates and it is all over the place when I drive the car hard. It makes it hard to know when I am redlining.

Normal driving it works fine. I finally got my knock sensor and oil pressure sensor wired up and thats when it started doing that. When I had those connections off (oil pres. & knock sens.), RPM did not fluctuate but I did have a check engine (because of the knock sens).

Any Ideas?

How does the RPM guage fluctuate? Does it drop and kick back on rapidly while accelerating?

It goes up and down +/- 2000rpm. It's not consistant. When driving normal it's fine

It is the stock thermo. What's wierd though, it only started happening when I got the plugs for the knock and oil press sensor wired up. I cleaned out the throttle body but it only happens near redline.

Alright finally fixed the problem! I sprayed a **** load of carb cleaner in the throttle body and it seems to be running fine. Thanks!
