TPI Swap Complete!?

Well it is all done. It runs, but running like crap! I got the timing set at 6*, fuel pressure is correct, no check engine light though. I tried to pull the codes and nothing happens. The check engine light comes on with the key at first start up, shuts off as it should when the engine starts. When I ground terminal B on the ALDL connector with the key on all I get is a solid check engine light. Does this mean the ECM is bad?

Thanks

I got it running decent. Now it hesitates really bad off the line, then goes like hell. Any ideas what causes this. I know on my last MAF car whenever there was a problem with the MAF it hesitated really bad, maybe I have it to far away??
Any help would be great.
Thanks Again

One word for ya...scantool.

Time to see what the ECM is getting from the sensors. Guessing will get really frustrating for you. (entertaining for us, tho)
