Default b16a3 built block swaped in, stuck in gimp mode now? :(

I have a 94 eg2 with a factory b16a3 motor in it, we just swapped the block out with another built b16a3 with a few miles on it, and now i'm stuck in gimp mode. we didn't change anything else. at first it was throwing ecu codes of 10 and 16, IAT and injectors, then i fidgited with the ecu wires (kind of messy) and it stopped throwin anythin, sounds like i guess it should, but i can't rev above 3500rpm's, it sounds like a fuel cut. we dont' know whats going on. anybody have this experience before? could it be a shot ECU? lost tune?

Check to make sure the MAP and TPS sensors aren't switch. Plugs look identical.

no, i checked that just to be sure eventhough i knew it wasn't that, because my map sensor plug has a broken clip when i had a missing link on it, so i have to tape it to secure it on.

also, i wanted to be 100% sure those CEL codes really did go away, but come to find out, the wire came out of the plug, so i jumped it again with the wire, and now the same CEL codes come back on, 10 and 16.

i DO have a VAFC on there, and it may be weird wiring, i'm wondering if thats causing it, also the vafc screen isn't coming on, but the buttons light up. :-\
