What have i done now?
about a month ago i started smelling gas and through you guys determined it
was the pulsation damper. so i ordered the part and then installed it. as i was
putting the upper intake manifold back on i broke 3 or 4 of the vacuum lines and
the black and green one way something or other that was also connected to
some vac lines just under the trottle body. so i got some new hose and one of
those things. i replaced the ones i broke and some others. i finally got it all back
together and it ran great for about 15-20 seconds but then it died. i started it
again and it reved up to 3 grand like normal but then died. it does this now every
time i try to start it. did i maybe cross one of the vac lines or not put something
back on right? any help is much apreciated

The relief solenoid has zip to do with the engine running. It is used by the ACV for emissions purposes. A small vacuum leak from a disconnected line would not be enough to affect idle much either. I've had rubber caps fall off unused manifold nipples, and idle never skipped a beat. You need a leak larger than that to make it stall.
Besides, the problem was already found, and it wasn't relief solenoid related.
