it idles pretty smooth for the every now and then high rev when i crank it up which i think is the tps but im not sure i just know when i crank it up it it blows out some burnt fuel it seems like and then its fine.(only when it sits for awhile)

Dude, first off, you have issues...I'm sorry you feel hurt if people don't jump right on your questions....probably cus of you anyway.
Now to you problem....with your car. How does it run otherwise? Any codes come up when you got it scanned? (first thing you should do before replacing parts) Could be a number of things..help us narrow them down.

RE: conversion
If there were no codes, my guess would be a leaky injector. Try and check your fuel pressure after you turn it off..it should hold pressure. Is it hard to start? Do you have catalitic converters?
