Unhappy Need Help NOW!!!!!!!

OK, so before, I told you that my car woudlnt idle after taking the intake off to port it. The car just refused to idle , if the rpm's dropped below like 2k it wuold just stall. Ok, so today I took it all back apart, and made sure all the vacuum lines were on and where they were supposed to, and that all the intake gasket surfaces were cleaned so they sealed right. So I put it all back together (for the 2nd time now), and guess what...THE ****** STILL WONT IDLE !!!!!!!!!.... But,,I did notice something this time that was odd. I was holding the idle steady at like 2500rpm, seeing if it may idle after it was warmed up, and all of a sudden I heard this buzzer that I never heard before. It was like..beep...beep...beep...beep....at like 1 second intervals. I didnt know what that was, so after hearing it for about 10 sec, I shut the car off. I started it again in a few min, and held the gas down so it wouldnt stall..and I heard the same buzzer. So..maybe its something electrical thats making my car not idle, and causing that buzzer. So any ideas on any sensors or anything that may have shorted out and cause my car not to idle??? Or what that buzzer was?? I need help, this is pissing me off! PLeeeeease!! Thanks.

Still sounds like a air leak. Try spraying starting fluid or water around the intake, anywhere it could possibly leak. I have used a propane torch before also, it works well.

Did you reconnect your AFM?

Did you check your idle?

Not a bad idea checking the idle. Why not take a look at your throttle plates with the black duct off. The single bottom butterfly should have about 0.016 gap b/t it and the throttle body when the car is warm. Its possible that the fast idle screw got turned or maladjusted.]
It also sounds like you could have left off a large hose, like the one that comes off the intake duct about a foot from the throttle body and runs to that metal pipe behing the intake. Or somehow the large line that feeds the brake booster is off. Or one of those lines on the air bypass solenoid on the right hand side of the engine that is'nt on good.

If theres a large vacuum leak, you would be able to hear it standing over the engine. Have you checked for codes yet? You might have forgotten to plug a sensor back in, or it got damaged when the manifold was out.

Beep beep............beep beep..........beeep beep...........beeep beeep.....has nothing to do with the engine not running right. Just a door open or something like that. Insignificant. Thats a beeper making the sound. The buzzer buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz would be low fluid of some sort like water, low oil level etc. How far is your throttle lever from the idle stop screw when the car is fully warm?

make sure your air filter gate is plugged in other wise it will get the wrong mixture of air and continue to stall.
