Default Help with a Ctr tb and Skunk2 Intake

Just recently I bought a 92 Hatchback with a B16a1 in it. The car ran fine when I got it, it ran a 9.98 at Irwindale 1/8 strip, full inter, on donuts. I bought a CTR tb and skunk2 Intake manifold I put them on last night and took it for a test drive ran fine in the upper rpm range but the idle sucks sounds like a dirt bike this morning I tryed reseting the ECU by un hooking the battery then hooked it back up now it smokes like no other and the idle is still crappy, is this normal?? the TB has to sensors on it my old one only had one what do I do which one do I hook it up to? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPREACAITED THANKS IN ADVANCE\

Check your throttle cable, you may have it on too tight/lose whatever. Easy way to check is to take off the intake and look at the postition of the butterfly when the throttle is all the way open.

The car is running badly because it is not getting a correct signal from the TPS (throttle position sensor). The OBDI ECU doesn't like however you've got the OBDI TPS hooked up.

How exactly to make it work though, I'm not sure.

Did you use new intake manifold and throttle body gaskets?

Are all your vacuum fittings tight?
