I'm stumped!

I'm stumped!
Well this project started like 3 months ago. I took out all my injectors and had them cleaned. I also blocked off my egr and got rid of all the solenoids and metal vac and fuel lines. I replaced all the vac lines and fuel lines. I put on a new gasket and torqued down all the bolts. My car would idle like **** and the power deliver was horrible. So i figured it was a vacuum leak. I took it apart again, and did the TB mod and got rid of the BAC. I put it all back together and down it will idle up and kill after like 3 seconds. I have to keep on the gas to keep it running. When it dies it makes the big vacuum sucking sound. I have capped off all the vacuum nozzles and used JB weld for the others. I have checked rechecked everything many times, with evey possible type of check. my MAF is plugged in, didn't touch it. I ******* cannot figure this **** out. i need some serious help on this. my car is an 88 GTU
- what is the vacuum pressure supposed to be at / or within?

I found the problem. I was using some carb cleaner around the intake manifold. I can see it suck in and hear it rev up a little and start idlint better. WTF?? i have a new gasket, everything is smooth, dry and clean. all the bolts are torqued down.

I discovered NO gasket between my upper/lower manifolds after pulling my injectors last year. I did install a factory gasket, no sealant. I haven't had any problems since. Car ran fine before, and after. Go figure.
