Default Car wont idle and has poor pickup.

Ok so i just put in my new engine after my car has been sitting about 6 months, it starts up but it doesnt want to stay running. The rpm's sit a 0. Also when im sitting if it does happen to stay on, when i go to accelerate, the car is very boggy. Also when it gets to about 5k it makes a pop-ing noise. I can hear that i do have an exhaust leak because of the headers, but i dont think that is the problem for all this. Any body have an suggestions? Also i do have CEL codes but i cant get them read yet because the car isnt street legal.

^Pretty sure he is OBD2. I think your MAP and TPS plugs are backwards.

Sounds to me like a misfire....been a while since i've wrenched on a 6th gen, but make sure you have the plug order from the dist right. Could also be a straight-up bad plug or wire....check for spark from each. Simple shit you've probably already done, but never hurts to give input!

I got the codes check and it came up with, cyl 2,3,4 misfire, and multiple misfire. But i also got Iacv malfunction. And my Iacv could be bad and which could cause all the "Misfires". So im gonna get a new one and hopefully that will fix the problem.
