Arrow I need help!

I have a coupe with a 18C and B16 Head. M car was running good for a while with this setup. M friend told me he had ECU for the setup i had and he sold it to me. 2 weeks after i was running the car i did not want to start. When my mechanic stopped by the timing had skipped a couple teeth. When he fixed the timing it still had the same problem. It was hard to start the car i had to try like 3 times. When i start it and give it gas it chokes. After a while when i think its gonna stay on it slowly turns of and i get sad. I tried another ECU. I changed the spark plugs. They tell me i should get a new Throttle body maybe is the maybe it could be the map sensor and the tps. please give some words of wisdom!

How many threads do you need about this topic?

You've already posted here about the exact same thing:

I'm going to close the other thread if you want to start a new one.

So yesterday i changed my ecu and wiring harness. I changed my map sensor and tps sensor all new. Timing is perfect. I got new throttle body gasket new spark plugs. I was reading on Honda-Tech that maybe it could just be my head thats gone bad. I took it for a ride and it does pass 5000rpm but while im giving it gas it feels like its still blogs out. Sounds like a Subaru when it idles low sometimes it turns of. Could it be my injectora, intake manifold, or gas pump. Its either getting to much air and not enough gas or to much gas and not much air!

Do a compression test/Leak down test? Sounds like it possibly could have dropped a valve or 2...
