Tune up items up to date? Any stored codes? Got a few more after you answer these.

Then help me understand a little better what you mean by "it shuts down in any forward gears when i give it too much gas"

Then the last one for free, oh wait they are all free , now I know why I'm poor...does this only seem to happen when that car is warm-normal op temp?

Basically I did a swap n replaced everything to convert to vtec it was running great then I wiredin vtec n start getting into it a lil more n that's when it started acting up so I unhooked vtec n still does it so I got another ecu n tcm n main relay.. no change. As for tha temp thing it does it cold n warm and if I push tha pedal in more than like an inch it starts spudderin n shuts down then takes a few to start back n sumtimes rite back up
