Wont run by itself, misses, and is dumping too much gas (more detail in the post)

So, to start with this problem I'm having. I went to Dunkin' Donuts in the Stang. I went into 3rd instead of 1st and stalled pulling up to the window. I turned the car back on for it to just idle at a constant 2k rpm. I left it sitting with the battery unplugged for a day and it still ran with a high idle. I started messing around with the TPS and IAC, which ended up not doing anything to the idle. I then pointed to vacuum leaks. I took off my upper intake and did a complete check on all the vacuum lines. Not one leak. I changed my throttle body and upper intake gasket and put everything back together. I started the car and now it just won't run well whatsoever. The only way for me to get the car running was to cut fuel by holding the gas pedal down. When it does forcefully run, it sounds like it's missing. Could anyone point me in the right direction on what to do? I have the battery unplugged right now. Tomorrow I'm gonna start with the IAC unplugged and start messing with the tps to get it to that .98. After that I have no clue what to do. I'm hoping that the computer is just throwing loads of fuel into it since it was used to the high idle and now it's flooding the cylinders.

So the TPS voltage thing is internet myth/lore. Read this thread:

Yeah, .98 is a old myth that don't go away.
Pull the vacuum line off the fuel pump regulator, smell the vac line, do you smell gas? Replace the regulator.
Smells fine to me. I think I found the culprit but I cannot get it to run well still, but it'll idle. First of all, my MAP was originally connected to the A/C part of the vacuum tree for some odd reason. I plugged the MAP into the back of the intake and it still ran like :poo: with a stall. If I unplug the source hose from the tree and the map hose the car will NOT stall and will idle but with surging and some misfiring. As soon as the vacuums get plugged, it stalls. Tomorrow morning I'm just gonna really run through everything to make it not run like actual dog:poo:.
 
B3 careful with the map / bap thing. Pre 87 has map sensor. If 87+ and maf it has BAP sensor. BAP sensors don't get hooked up to vacuum. If you have a MAF I'd check it and make sure there's nothing messing up the signal. Didn't mention the year of your car so shooting in the dark.
