did you swap manifold? are you using a dual point harness and ecu on a si motor? need a little more info. is the tps hooked up?

tps is throttle position sensor. is it pulling any codes? check the ecu. just in case you dont know how to check. look at the ecu and see how many times the red light on the ecu blinks. it shoulnt be blinking at all. but if the check engine light is on count in 10's if the light blinks slow and 1's if it blinks fast. ie 1 slow blink and 4 fast blinks, thats a code 14.
