need swap help

[1gEF-8]

i just completed my d16z6 swap. to keep things simple i kept it obd0. vtec is not hooked up yet. during intial fire up it soared to 4500 rpm. i had to retard the timing so much to get it down to 1000 rpm. there is zero throttle response. i have to hold the throttle down for about 5-10 sec before the rpm starts to rise. any rpm below 900 rpm the engine starts shake like its bout to die. any time i align the timing marks the engine revs to 4000-4500 rpm and idles there!

Assuming your question is how to fix the idle, are your vaccuum lines routed correctly?

Any codes. You should probably look into checking the TPS.

There isnt any slack in your throttle cable is there? Even if your vacum lines are hooked up right are there any leaks maybe? Have you checked your plugs and wires to make sure you dont have any fouled plugs? What are some of the things you have done to try and fix it.

i bet you have vacuum hooked to your dashpot, pull the hose you have hooked to it plug it onto the port on your intake boot/arm and see what happens

figured it out. i was looking over the engine and saw backfire through the intakemanifold. shut it off and what do i find. my dumb ass over looked a piece(bout 1.5 inch square around a stud on top of the #3 cylinder) of the old intake mainfold. took out the piece and the engine is running like a champ.
