PROBLEM: My car is idleing at 1234 rpm and boggs badly when I try to accelerate.

My car was running at 750 rpm prior to this problem.

Recent Mods: My apexi neo wasn't reading the correct throttle position (it would only show 0% OR 100% nothing inbetween). I removed my center console and ecu plugs (battery was disconnected), I noticed that a karman wire was unplugged (the wire that came out of the ecu plug). I reattached the wire and hooked everything back up. I started the car a pulled a code P0100 vaf malfunction (pocketlogger). I am lost on this and have searched quite a bit. The only other thing I touched was my stereo. I'm in the process of installing a new unit, but I'm using a harness and all the wires have shrink wrap. I wonder if I killed the ecu? please shed some light!
 
vaf or maf? How did you hook the karman wire up? When i had the afc, you had to cut the wire, hook the side coming from the engine to the afc and the wire leaving the afc to the ecu. So you may have hooked it up wrong.
 
The P0100 is Volume Air Flow circuit malfunction. The karman signal from the ecu plug is connected to the brown wire with white stripe. The other end is connected to black wire with white stripe.
