Icon2 car wont idle right??

i just got my b16 built and got it back in and it starts but idles real low and misses... it was almost like the injectors werent firing correctly?? i ran dsm 450s before and sold those and got rc 1000's and i am using the same resistors as i was using for the 450's if it matters they are 10watt-10ohm...i got a new base for the injectors but it could still be off.... idk what to try to get it to idle smooth? can someone maybe give me some suggestions...i havent used a timing light to time it yet but i thought the car should be running a little better than it is now before i tried timing it?

Get the car tuned and stop running on a basemap. Timing isn't gonna help. Those are low impedance injectors?

i believe so i got them from a kid they were going to be used on his evo so i mean dsm usually use low impediance...and i dont wanna pay for a tune to break it in??? im not just gonna throw it on the dyno without breaking it in so i was just gonna use a basemap and go easy on it before i got it tuned

WTF is breaking it in? A basemap should only be used for getting you to the tuners. Nothing more. It's running like crap right now and the only way you're going to fix it now is with a proper tune.
