96 with 00 engine stuttering at 2200 rpm
video
car is a 96 miata with a 00 engine in it (and 6 speed tranny). in neutral if i lightly press the throttle, it will hit 2200 rpm and keep bouncing between that and 2000 rpm, if i press on the throttle a bit harder it bounces faster. if i press past 50% it will rev like nothing is wrong all the way to the red line and does make good power.
in first gear if i press lightly on the gas it will hit 2000 rpm and lose power for a half second and then surge forward hard to the red line, usually getting my tires to slip for a second. less prominent in 2nd gear, and almost non-existent in 3rd gear and above. if i press the throttle harder it revs and doesn't have an issue.
Also has the issue of in higher gears of maintaining speed. if i press on the throttle below 25% it won't seem to maintain speed at all, but i can press a little harder and it will accelerate smoothly. so i can't maintain speed (only accelerate) until i hit about 60mph, then i can just fine.
i'm pretty sure this is a air to fuel metering issue, but don't know what to check or how to fix it. car has new plugs and wires, no vacuum leeks that i can find, with every vacuum hose replaced. electrical system is from the 96, injectors from 00, with the m-tuned duel feed fuel rail. also has a 1.6l clutch and flywheel (fidanza).
any ideas?

my TPS sensor wasn't properly adjusted. adjusting it fixed the issue completely. the problem is that while i adjust that, i noticed the CPS wasn't properly gapped, so while doing that i snapped the bolt that holds it on in half..........so now i have to remove the sway bar and radiator to get enough clearance to use a drill with a screw extractor............fun
