Default Tell me what is going on here?

Ok ill tell you what I just added the engine and what trouble shooting I have done and well see if anyone here can tell me how to fix it lol. I just added a skunk2 intake manifold and a holley 62mm throttle body. I was having some idle probs before ( i think it was the tps) so when I put on the new TB i used a new TPS from a type R TB. Now when I started the car the first time it ran and idled about 2grand and sat there and purred but through a code (tps and Mas sensor fault or somthing) so i replaced teh mas with a new one and now it just starts and dies right away? What do I need to do to fix my stupid car lol and get it idleing normal? Is it possible im taking to much air in and if so how do I fix the computer to read correctly? Any help is greatly appriciated..being dealing with this for 3 months now

Is it possible you have the TPS and MAP connectors switched?

I think that would most likely be the problem.

ok heres the update. I switched the two sensors and the car runs for a sec and dies. I switched them back the car runs at about 2 grand still throughs a check engine light..but here the catch. While its running I removed the TPS sensor plug in and nothing changed. I did the same to the MAS and nothing changed...now what?

Be sure that the ECU is good, a bad ECU can cause all sorts of trouble.

And by the way, welcome to Honda-Tech.
