HELP car dies wen i give it gas but idles

ok so i fixed my short..it was a power wire going to the ignition that grounded and blew my 80a fue.. i re sauldered it and it started...it idles fine..but wen i give it a little gas lik if i keep it constat at around 1800 rpm it sounds liek it chokes and it will want to die..if i then let the throttle down itll keep running.. so i warmed it up so about 40 minutes..and then the idle started to decline as it was appoaching full running temperature. i tried adjusting the bac and the idle screw but it seems to not be working..wen i give it gas hard wen its at idle~800 rpms it will immediately chokle..almost sounds like it is not gettign any air. and one mmy vacuum goes anywhere near 0 it will choke..so no boost or anything..if i put it in gear wont go..since when i give it gas it dies.. any ideas? tps? so i think its either not getting enuff fuel wen i gas it or..its not getting enough air..pretty straightforward sounding..but theres so many possiblilites for that..where should i start?
