^^Do you think you can do this? If not, then we can take guesses at what is wrong..
Try that first.

If the gas pedal is too touchy, the throttle cable may be too tight. It can be adjusted at the little bracket on the intake manifold and also under the dash where it meets the gas pedal.

Let us know if you get the issue resolved, maybe the cable/bracket is eff'd up from when the swap was done cause you need to either use an ls throttle cable or customize a bracket for the existing civic one if im not mistaken.. i had to

Yea, it's probably your cable. I have to make my own bracket also.
