Here's the facts so you can help eliminate some scenarios.

-I'm using the SOHC DX fuel line from filter to rail.
-I have CELs but the scanner can't scan jdm ecus (p73).
-I don't have the vtec solenoid and knock sensor plugged in but I read you can drive normally without it. Just no vtec.
-The tiny nipple on the back of the intake manifold that points towards the firewall isn't covered and it sucks air. If I close it with my finger over it, the engine starts to die out and turn off. I tried keeping it sealed before starting but the engine just starts but stays at very low rpms (200).
-if I just start the car it idles at 500-700 all day. And stays there. If I hold the gas at 2,500 rpms for example, it fluctuates. Goes up and down up and down between 2,500 to 1,500.
- I reprint the b plug on the harness for the IACV sensor and that's it. I didn't do the vtec and knok because it's not wired and I didn't do the cfk sensor because jdm ecus don't have that sensor. And I didn't do the fuel pump relay repin because it's a 97 so no immobilizer.
-I'm using my stock dx wiring harness. I did the rewrite 3-2 IACV plug. I put the yellow wire on top and blue at the bottom. I also rewire the SOHC intake plug to the sensor on one of the intake manifold sensor that's on one of 4 arms. Sort of say. The map and tps sensor Im sure I didnt mix the
