I cant get my car to run right

the car will run for a 30 sec's and die out, idels fine untill it dies, if i rev it up when i drops back down it sometimes dies out, If i drive it , it hesitates and dies out around mid RPM when i get on it.

I just put heads,intake, on the car and i took off my smog pump I think i did something wrong with the vac lines, or the mass air is not reading right.

the line that go's to the fuel reg. comes off the intake and it was pluged off but i used a diffrent vac line and connected it. I also pluged of the egr.

Can someone let me know how to run the vac lines.

any ideas???

the only vac lines i have coming out of the intake is the one going to the lower intake and the one going to the T on the driver side of the fire wall.
