Did you trash you TPS sensor? (Throttle Positioning Sensor) my buddies 93 has a trashed one and it starts and sputters then dies after like 4 seconds.

Does it just turn over, or does it fire a little bit?

Look at the Intake elbow, and make sure the Donkey Dong is fully connected. Happened to me, would sputter, and die. Once I connected it, ran like a champ.

while starting the motor... have someone else with a wrench and tap on the MAF to see if anything changes... also make sure its plugged in...

Sounds like there is a leak somewhere in between the rear of the throttle body and the MAF sensor.
