CA rx7 fc s5 Wont hold idle

Hello guys, I have a really weird problem for my RX7. So what happen was I buy 2 RX7 fc S5. Both of them are 1989 one white hatch and the other one is convertible. The white hatch fc had an engine blown, but the convertible engine is fresh 10k rebuilt , run healthy and compression good. So i decide to swap the engine into my white hatch. I try to put everything over just like the way the engine is setup in the convertible one. However, after I done the swap. The engine won't hold idle. It rev and sound really healthy. And I did some research,and I found that the engine had Emission delete ( rats nest, and Bypass air control were remove) and Oil meter pump delete. The bypass air control valve have silicon under and a block plate on top of it. Because I cant figure out the issues, I purchase a power FC and banzai s5 adapter. and hoping that will help me solve the problem .I follow the instructions to install the PFC. After finish put the power fc on, I start the engine and it still wont hold the idle, however, it sound more better than a stock ECU when I rev it . i also set the setting to base map. Now am not sure what to do and what are the problem that cause the engine to not hold idle, and I also need help with tuning an N/A FC. let me know what you guys think. Thanks

If you reset the ECU to the base map, it will not be set up for your N/A FC.

You need a datalogit to load the N/A FC map. I am guessing you bought this used, since I have not emailed out any N/A maps in the last couple months
