My friend has a 2000 GT with the following modifications...

-Cold Air Kit (C&L)
-3.73 Gears
-Steeda Pullies
-C&L Thottle Body / Plenum

Problem is what when we start the motor the engine dies immediately. The only way we can keep the engine running is by holding the gas down. The second we lay off the gas pedal the engine dies. What could be causes for this type of problem?

*One thing that we did do was replace the throttle body/plenum (C&L) back to the stock throttle body/plenum. Having said that, we have checked all hoses and no leaks were detected. Thanks for the input.

Yes. The MAF sensor is plugged in.

I was just reading the post below, pertaining to a faulty IAC. Do you think this could also be an issue in this case?

Check all your vacuum hoses. Listen under the hood when you run the engine with the gas on and try to find a sucking sound....you might have jarred a hose loose
