i have an 88 na, and as soon as i start it, it will die if i rev it, it will stay on for a few seconds longer
it start right after i installed the new exhaust including headers
i took off the acv, 5th and 6th port actuators, pressure sensor hose, and the mass air flow sensor, have recconected all of them

Sounds like the MAF sensor... I had similar situation when I was changing to an open intake kit.

Check your connectors, make sure they are all connected and try starting it again.

Give Greg at Staff's Auto a call if it's still not starting, he will be able to help you out.

What did you unscrew precisely? The plug just pulls off. You're not supposed to unscrew anything.

where you disconnect the MAF there are 2 screws, i unscrewed those, then realized that you can just unplug it.

You very well might have damaged the AFM by doing so. This was a no, no.

I have seen them damaged exactly by doing that before.
