The fuel pressure guage is reading 25 PSI. It has an aftermarket fuel rail on it with the guage attached. Is 25 psi normal?

Fuel pressure is 25 - 32 psi with vacuum hose connected so you are within specs.

The check engine light comes with codes 3 ( map sensor ) and 21 ( vtec solenoid valve ) I have cleaned the map sensor, and removed the solenoid valve and cleaned it.

The motor still running bad. When I get the engine revving over 1500 the wierd acting stops and it has all of it's power there.

Yes it is. 3 short blinks = map sensor. I am getting close to taking off the IACV and cleaning it.
