CT Why doesn't she stay on?? HELP!!

So here's my problem. My 87 fc won't stay on. I started her up yesterday and she starts but after a few seconds she dies. If I give her gas she shuts off. I removed my emissions parts except for charcoal canister and zero start valve. Replaced fuel pump and filter. Also had my injectors cleaned. Vacuum lines were good when I did the emissions delete. I bumped up my idle from the screw on top of my throttle body. She was running fine after all the emissions was gone for a few months now, but now I don't know what it could be. Is she leaning out? In need of HELP.

here we go again...

almost all of these threads arise due to a vacuum leak from a shitty emissions delete. and: (since i don't feel like typing this out every day)

i should add a service to my list: "putting your car back to stock so it will run right again"

Vacuum leak. You probably forgot to plug the two hoses back in on the intake snorkel for the BAC and AWS solonoid.

All I can say is triple check ALL vacuum and electrical connections.

both hoses on my intake snorkel are capped. The car was running just after I did the emissions removal for a few months. The day this issue came up she started up just fine. I went to reverse her(car was still cold) and she stalled but when I tried to start her again well you know the rest. I will check all my vac lines again.

vac line on my fpr is connected to a nipple under the secondary injector rail. I'll take a look at that as well.

Does it no require a solenoid?

You may want to compression test as well.
