Are you jumping pins A and B, two upper right terminals?

What has been done to this car?
Disconnecting the ECM but leaving the light driver module will make it do exactly that. For example a carb conversion.

I have put new injectors new fuel pump new idle control valve a whole new tuned up new oxygen sensor new mass air flow and and everything I've done has not seen the help keep it from flooding and sometimes when you're driving it at about 2500 RPMs and push the clutch in to come to a stop it will die but it starts right back up and don't know why it does that

If youre doing the diagnostic check correct try unplugging the ecu and then plugging it back in. If it still doesn't work I would bet your ecu is bad.

Sounds like you have a bad 1227165 ecm . You can tap on the case while the engine is running to see if the engine acts up.
