Default PLEASE HELP!!! cold start problems, power loss

i have an 88 CRX Si with a b16a3 swapped from a USDM del sol vtec. the del sol was mine, i totaled it, and the motor started and ran fine after the wreck in the del sol. now in the crx, with all proper wiring from HAsport and ecu adapters and all, it is really chokey at idle while cold, also if you hit the gas when its cold, the rpm will drop rather than climb. ECU is throwing code 6, coolant temp sensor, replaced that, still throwing code, same problem. i also have a sohc vtec ecu that worked on the del sol with the b16 just fine, and cold start is not as bad, but still same problems with both ecus. i've tried professional fuel system cleaning, installed MSD, dont ask why, no good answer. we've figured it cant be the injectors, unlikely that both ecus are bad, and the sensor is good. power is being robbed as well even at good temp, as my friends' stock crx si is just barely slower than mine with the swap. if anyone has experienced something similar to this, please, please help.

Check your wiring.

Do you still have the Sol or parts to sell?

I'm swapping a SiR B16 OBD0 motor into my 93 Sol S d15 auto.
I need alot of parts! Check my sig.

btw, I grew up in Reston, and Fairfax, Va!
