ok, i think everyone knows what im dealing with here, . i finally hooked up ther maf sensor and it smoothed everything out and it ran fine... well my throttle was sticking and the butterfly didnt want to close all the way, so i cleaned some of the grease from around it and that didnt work, it still wouldnt close all the way, so i looked closer and found that the butterfly was hitting and so i took and sanded the butterfly down a VERY SMALL AMOUNT. i put it all back together, it sat there and idled for a little while and then died... now i failed to mention also that before i put the throttle body back on i hooked up a used baro sensor... any ideas people?
 
It's going to be hard for us to tell you what's going on from what you are telling us. Really it's going to be a game of test each part until you find what's not working.

Will it crank back up?
 
See the "Surging Idle Checklist for help with all your idle/stall problems. Everything you need to find and fix idle problems is in there.

The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
