Post d16y7/y8 mini me swap problem need helpp!!

ok so i've just done a mini me swap. (y7 block/y8 head)

now im having problems. i don't know what i've done wrong.

i used a y8 intake manifold, it will start up and idle fine, but when i give it gas it just bogs down and wants to shut off. (not drivable)

now, i used the y7 intake manifold, and it will rev up and everything but it has a idle issue (every start revs up to 3k rpm and drops and keep going up and down). (driveable)

TIMING IS ON POINT. I'VE CHECKED TIMING NUMEROUS TIMES.

i am using the p2p ecu. (civic ex ecu)

i haven't wired vtec yet, could that be the issue why it wont rev up with the y8 intake manifold?

NOW BEFORE YOU TELL ME TO GOOGLE IT OR SEARCH IT, I DID. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IM THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS THIS ISSUE.

if anybody has had this issue before and knows how to fix it, please let me know. it will be really appreciated.

and PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS. Stay positive my friends lol

Sounds like a TPS issue with the Y8 manifold, and IACV/vacuum leak with the y7 manifold

i've checked all sensors and they are good. is there anything else that could be the reason?

Did you test the TPS with a multimeter? Or did you just glance at the TPS and assume it's fine? Can you take a picture of where your TPS is?

no i cant take a picture of it.

but i let the car run and disconnected the tps plug and the engine cut off.
i heard thats the way you can test to see if a sensor is bad or not.
but its located on top of the throttle body, and no i didn't test it with a multimeter

did you convert to a 2 wire IACV? Is your check engine light on and if it is post your codes? What is your year/make/model? What year engine did you use?

Learn grammar and sentence structure. Then read all the FAQs up top of this forum. Finally make your own thread about your issue and do not thread jack someone else.

No one can understand what you are saying, it took me 10 minutes to piece together that crap.
