When you push the gas does the blades open up more? if not it may be a broken cable

 

Yes everything is opening fine.......It has a new TPS.....IAC......MAP. I am holding it open with a rod from outside the car. I Will not idle on its own. I will not start unless I hold the blades open also.

Might want to increase the idle speed. This happened to me. I had to have my dad hold the throttle open a little bit while he started it then hold it open while I increased the idle with that little connector unpluged. Then it would idle.

 

Maybe the minimum air needs to be set. I don't think it is a part that has gone bad on you, rather an adjustment that needs to be set. When you hold it at idle, does it bounce or stay solid? Look into adjusting the miminum air and maybe checking the the iac passenges, etc. Good luck!!!!

Check your plugs! With the way it's been running so lean it wouldn't suprise me if some plugs are fouled up so bad that it won't hold an idle. Then check all the wires. Flip the TPS sensor a few times and hold it in a position just off idle and see if that helps any. Just curious but does the SES light blink really REALLY fast? If so the eprom isn't working and ecm is in "get home mode" which will NOT hold an idle with an aftermarket car.

No not getting amy SES light, however the plugs are a good idea.

Could be the EGR valve

 

check your injectors make sure both of them are spraying. I had a inj1 fuse get corrode just enough to lose that injector
