Default Y8 dies with too much throttle

Ive been searching, But i cant find exactly what I'm looking for. So if you know of a thread that will help me, feel free to point me in that direction.

I Recently put a Y8 in my 96 cx hatch.
The motor is a 97 ex D16Y8
The ECU is a 98 Ex auto

The Problem:
It Does idle, But not quite as smooth as it should. Then if you give it throttle, It will die unless you let off.
It Can be somewhat driven short distances (if you baby the throttle)

The head has been surfaced, Valves seated, New gaskets
Compression is good and cam timing is set

CEL codes?

Also triple check the mechanical timing.

No Codes
Mechanical timing is right on (because thats what we originally thought the problem was)
The two plugs is very likely possibility. Ill swap those and see what happens

You have your spark plugs swapped around?

You aren't drowning your chambers in fuel right?

Try replacing the fuel filter and then check the ignition timing with a timing gun:

One is the Throttle position Sensor, I honestly don't know what the other is

The other may be the MAF sensor, I had similar problem on my EX when swapping over
