Question Engine Starts then dies....

Its a really wierd thing, i pulled up to my house yesterday stopped the car to go get something to eat, i come back out about an hour or 2 later and turn the key and the car starts up runs for about 2 seconds and then dies... here is what i have checked so far
Leak in the intake
fuel filter
fuel pump connector
and im just starting to look for a vacum leak, you guys have anything else it could be?
oh yea i took out my ACV yesterday too earlier in the day it ran fine after i did it.. but i dont know maybe i screwed it up somehow , just as simple as taking it off and blocking it correct?

The plugs were really black when i pulled them, instead of a cleaning i decided to just get the new ones, flooding usually isnt a problem for me because i have a fuel cut switch ever since the engne rebuild.
Ill check out the AFM and ill look into the resistor thing. Thanks alot guys! Ill let you know whats going on
