Have you got a digital multimeter and a copy of the service manual ?...... time to start checking for permanent and ignition ön" 12V at the ECU.
Check to make sure you haven't missed any of the earths on the engine too.

Is that 3000RPM with the throttle closed (ie should be idling?)
Did you use the Applause or Sportrak inlet manifold/ throttle body?

Does the Applause throttle body have the air bypass valve to control the idle speed? It's the thing that hangs off the bottom of the tb with the two coolant pipes running to it.

Don't suppose you know if the Applause one is a larger internal diameter at all? Possibly could give you more power if it is....
