emissions removed...goodbye idle

i just removed all of my emissions from my 86 n/a.the car starts and will run with my foot on the gas anywhere past 2k rpm,any lower and the car stumbles then dies no matter how much gas i give it.while revving at about 2500rpm it back fires repeatedly(detonation?). i don't know what could be causing this,i thought it could be the FPR.i have it running from the vac nipple to left of it on the UIM,not sure if it should be hooked up there.i do still have the cat on,but am planning on getting rid of it soon,but that shouldn't cause this idle issue,should it?i also adjusted the idle screw on the back of th TB to its max,with no luck.anybody have a clue whats going on?

Check to make sure everything got capped off that was removed.

Next, make sure that your FPR and MAP are seeing vacuum from AFTER the throttle plates. Some of the nipples on the UIM are sourced before the plates.

Your block-off plates are way tpo thin, and won't be flat enough to seal properly. They are the most likely cause of the vac leak that's affecting your idle. They should be 3mm (1/8") thick minimum.

would the oil fill cover not being on at start up cause a disturbance in idle?also,if when i was removing the parts off of the tb,i happened to push the plunger on the tps in multiple times.would this screw up the tps?

You really should double check all of your sensor adjustments after fooling with the TPS at all.

I still have my money on a vacuum leak.
