Car won't idle (dies immediately) - Revs fine
Any ideas? Start the car it will start and then die as soon as it comes down to idle. If i hold the throttle and keep it above 2k rpm I can drive the car and such fine but as SOON as it comes to idle it just shuts right off.
List I can think of is
TPS
AFM
DME
There mightve been a short that occured, specifically with the supplemental positive in iceshark kit, while the car was off. Keep that in mind.
any help will be appreciated.. is there anything else in the idle circuit to worry about?
I unplugged and plugged in speed/refference sensors, afm, checked all fuses, etc.

Is this only when cold or all the time? If all the time I would vote on the TPS. Easy to test.
Sounds like you're at the same point I am in the rebuild. Working out the bugs.

I took it apart to change teh TPS, putting the throttle body back in i noticed a tear in the hose from the ISV to the intake boot.. i thought I did it while working on it just now but it seems it was the rip in the hose. I really need a vacuum gauge in this car. 
It runs all good now! Thanks for the help.

Unplug the airmeter as soon as it starts, and see if stays running. Sounds like the airmeter to me. Have someone crank the car, and soon as it fires, unplug it.
