oh, if you messed with the fuel pump, check that too, especially check for leaks in the line post-pump but still in tank, maybe bad fuel pressure. This probably isn't the problem though if you didn't change the pump.

my car wouldnt stay started for more than 3 or 4 seconds before i soldered up my safc connections ..

since you tap into the afm wire, that may have something to do with it ... double check those connections and solder them in ...

Did you look down inside your fuel tank to see how much crap was in the bottom of it when you put your fuel pump in? Its not good for your fuel filters when you run your car out of gas. Maybe your sock or your inline fuel filter is clogged. Second guess would be spark plugs...

after rethinking this i am near positive you have a leak in one of your intake pipes. remove the TID and inspect it for cracks in the rubber. do the same with all the other hoses... could even be a gasket that is the problem, try to isolate the problem with some carburetor cleaner, spray around the intake manifold, if the idle smooths out then you found the source of the problem. be sure to have a fire extinguisher close by though..

Well, my TID has a crack in it, but I filled it in with two seperate layers of high-temp RTV.

It just doesn't make sense that my car would be so healthy one moment and just want to die the next... Like, something happened in an instant that caused my problems... I'd think if it were spark-plugs it would've been a progressive thing?

I like the "over-spun" CAS idea... (simply because that'd be easy to fix)

Karack, can you go a little more in depth on the carb-cleaner 'method'?

The carb spray idea is simple. Spray where you think it might be leaking, Idle change youve found your leak. No change? Move on. Just dont over do it and it wouldnt hurt to keep a fire extinguisher close by as Karack has mentioned. I keep one in all my cars.
