Well the last few days my car has not been wanting to run properly. I have had the engine in for about 3 weeks and with little issues the whole time but they have seemed to have gotten worse.
When my car has been sitting for say longer than 30 min, I'll crank it and it will idle rough an eventually smooth out. The problem I am having is that whenever I go to apply power it wants to cut out or sit there and sound like its missing horrible and sometimes sound like its backfiring thru the intake. Up until yesterday it would do this for the first 30-60 seconds of driving it and then it would clear up and drive normally. I thought it may be my icv so I just took that out and gave it a good cleaned and reinstalled. Seems like the problem is even worse now, with the same symptoms. I don't believe to have a vacuum leak but I also don't have a smoke machine to test that. I have checked the cel about 5 times in the last week and the 4 consistent codes I am retrieving are p0170, p0173, p1188, and p1189. All fuel related codes. I also had a cam sensor code thrown yesterday but that was the only time.
I can't figure out what would be causing these types of intermittent issues.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

EDIT: bought a whole car for the swap and had it running without any check engine light on.
