New engine wont idle and is rough.

hey guys I just put my engine in yesterday that I build my self, this is my first one. I did all emissions removal (do I need to add resistors to the plugs?) and thermowax also (and plugged the coolant hole). I have a PFC, still sequential did they simplified sequential vacuum job (I left the old solenoids plugged in). The motor is street ported. Ive installed a OMP adapter and plumed in a catch can for the 2 cycle oil. I checked my TPS and the second wire from the top is in range but the bottom one doesn't change http://www.rx7.org/Robinette/tps_adj.htm
Ok now the problem the car will start and run but only if I give it gas and maintain a little gas with the pedal. I'm not sure if I re hooked up the ecu area wires right does anyone have a picture of that area to help me out? Thanks for the help I hope I can get this fixed soon I miss driving my car!

Does it run or keep wanting to die? Maybe keep letting it get warmed up and then the idle will settle down a bit after shes warmed up.

I had it idling for a while then the ecu wanted to start the idle learn but I wasn't working on that I was still trying to get the idle dialed in. To get it to start I stuck a screwdrive in the outside idle screw and it fired up but the idle was at 2 grand so I turned it down till it was close to 1 grand. I turned it off and then it wouldnt run on its own again.
