How's the timing? Can you put the old dizzy back on and see if it goes back to your mid pedal problem?

timing is dead on and I can't put the old one back on bc it's gone;and idle air control valve is bad but that won't shut the car off in the middle of driving it

google search for testing your dizzy and what wires to test for the TDC sensor, you may have a short in your harness or your ecu.
