Did you check to see if there were any stored ECU codes with the stock ECU?

Sounds like your TPS is what's causing your issues. Make sure the TPS is connected properly and that you have continuity to the ECU. After that, adjust it until it's within spec.

well i know the tps wires make it back to the pfc at least cut it reads about 4.8 at closed throttle which i know ixs way to high so i guess it just needs adjusting any advise on doing that, or do you just turn it till it's in spec?

IIRC, 4.8v on the PFC is the reference voltage (i.e. if somethings not hooked up).
