Default eg civic starts then dies, need some help

I have an eg civic with a z6 w/ built bottom end. Last night when we got back home from IA we put a new master cylinder in my car. Drove it around for a while and came back home and shut her off then went to bed, woke up this morning and walked out to my car, went to start it and it fired, then 10 secs later it dies, started it up again and did the same thing. I kinda figured is flooded it after it woldnt fire anymore. I checked the codes and i was throwin 7(TPS), 10(IAT), 14(IACV), 16(Fuel Injector loose wiring). Now 16 seems to be reasonable since i unplug the harness to get to the master cylinder and maybe possibly I shorted out the dead end plug for the injector wiring. but yet i checked everything and it seems to be reading fine

Any conlcusions to what it might possibly be will help...thank you

Sounds like you swapped some connectors to the sensors.

For example, I think you could plug the IAT connector into the IACV.

Check your plugs to be sure that your TPS (throttle position sensor- on throttle body) and your IACV (idle air control valve- on back of intake manifold) aren't switched. If its not your TPS sensor then its going to be your IACV. it happen to my boys hatch and i told him about it and he got it replaced and now it runs just fine.
