Which of those did you test and which did you adjust? Can you be more specific as to what you have done so far?

i tested the BAC put a new air supply solenoid in , mass airflow sensor, fixed all the vacuum leaks, replaced the throttle cable(old one was shot) adjusted the fast idle basically follwed the book, i think im leaning out like a week ago i ran it an hour from pa to DE to do some work on it i tore the upper intake off fixed some vacuum leaks took both fuel rails off to fix some leaks wih the injectors then i put it all back together and it would not idle so i thought because the throttle cable was shot i would get a new one i mean it was sticking and everything and it still did not fix it im still having a problem getting it to idle i know it has to be something i did i mean i hooked the airsupply solenoid up the old one had cut wires and i fixed some vac leaks other than that i didnt do anything but for some reason it does not want to idle any suggestions?

You need a friend to start the engine a keep it alive while you look for your vac leak. You will hear it. Its a vac leak, 99.9% sure.

Its probably also bad practice to assume everything is plugged in correctly if its not working.
