Here is the scoop.

I did the 1g motor swap in my 2g. For a long time the car wouldn't start or idle right, I found that my plugs and wire had gone bad. I replaced them and the car idled better but still had problems starting. So after a couple day the car would start but would sputter at idle and then eventually shut off. I changed my TPS and ICS, the plus are new and so are the wires. So I unplugged my Translator and pluged back in my stock MAF. Well holy crap the car starts and runs nice. Only problem is now I can seem to get my car not to run rich. When I rev the car up now it has a wierd sputtering sound,then a pop and then from the exhaust I get a black puff of smoke followed by alittle white smoke. Really the black seems to turn to white. Has anyone ever had this problem? Or Could someone please help me fix this problem?
 
yes the translator is hooked up correctly, it used to work before I did the motor swap.
The base setting is set for 800cc injectors.
As I stated above I just replaced the TPS and ICS and the TPS is correct.
