Its getn better, but sitll need help.

Ok got my new exhaust on and put everyhting back together. Start up the car she revs up to like 3500, that seems alot high for the normal rev up then idle down. Then i notice, it gets to like 2500 rpm then just shuts down. If i hold the gas pedal itl stay runnin and i notice a slight miss, and the idle fluctuates(grand, another vac leak). Well i adjusted the tps and got it to run at about 1500 rpm but the idle fluctuates and i cant keep it running below 1500 rpm. As soon as it gets below 1500 rpm it just shuts off. Ive used the carb cleaner method to track down leaks and im not finding anything. Anyone have any ideas why it just shuts down when the rpms get to about 1500?

I kno theres a vac leak causing hte idle to flucuate, but ive never heard of a vac leak actually killing the engine like that. Ill check my compression.

Could a intake leak between parts cause it to do that, i got all the surfaces realy clean before i put on new gaskets, but i dunno if it did the trick.
