I dont believe there any leaks. I cant spray any carb cleaner anywhere because it just wont stay running. It fires up just fine, but then just dies. I have the battery un hooked in hopes to reset the computer. I just dont understand how it could run so well and then all of a sudden just stop working.

nope, I talked to my tuner and he said by running it without the sensors I could of messed with the fuel and air trims and it could be dumping way to much fuel at start up. I got the battery disconnected now so hopefully that will help reset the comp.

My car idled with just manifolds also. No mail order tune, just stock. After exhaust and oxygen sensors it wouldn't idle but with gas it runs. I drove it about 10-12miles to my work and parked it. Idk why other than your tune is off or bad injectors. Maybe you flooded it when you tried with the old injectors.
