Thanks for the help bro even though the car is still acting the fool! Im gonna take it back to Vakamon so I can start trying to read each sensor to see which is bad. I just did some research tho, and a common problem among '02='03 WRXs is the IAC and it can tend to throw off all the other sendors so Im gonna start with that one. Ill try to keep posting what Im doing to fix it so if anyone come across this I can help em.

Idle air control valve has been said to be a problem in the '02-03s. Im not even sure if that is it right now. Im gonna post up the codes Im throwing and im gonna try to get it to Vakamon again.

Jose you rock that helped abunch. im getting ready to take it over to Vakamon to get the codes read again on the new ECU. Still thinking its the IAC or the MAF.
if your idle if messed up, IAC could be one of the problems...i think all you have to do is replace it with a new gasket and clean the area as well...at least that's what i've read from my research in the past...
and it could also make your car smoke(exhaust)...don't ask me what color i forgot..
