I'm having the same problem. Except mine runs real rough while holding the gas and smokes like its flooding. I've checked multiple things(injectors, vacuum, etc). And i'm still stumped. I got it to idle once earlier today and running fine then i had to fix my clutch switch and put new plugs in and it went back to the same crap. My fuel pressure was too high at one point though. Which was part of my problem. But its still messed up.

Ahh I see. Well I'd check any of them that you could of accidently pulled off.
Mine started after I put on my t2 AFM after my t2 swap. But the parts weren't bad I checked them all and mixed and matched a bit to trouble shoot but still no luck.
Then I checked fuel injectors for leaks, replaced plugs, fixed fuel pressure etc.
It finally held idle today with no smoke and not harsh it was purrin. Then i fixed my clutch switch and put some new plugs in and it went right back to the crap.
