Default Car dies at start up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just added a new cap and rotor, and new water pump, i also took off the TB and cleaned it, i put everything back together and now its not running right, starts then dies, inlessi keep the rpms up, if i let off whn the cars not warm it dies, iv checked all the wires, i had my PCM bench tested and read outta my 1994 z28 camaro, and its fine, the data log i have of my car after the tune up so frecking wacky, all attach it along with one i had when my car was running before i added the new parts, im so lost and so is everyone else, iv checked everything, the car ran fine before i added the new parts so whats the deal? it also sounds like crap now too, iv checked and rechecked everything

Could be the Idle Sensor on the Throttle Body, or a Fuel filter maybe..

check your fuel pressure, my buddies t/a did the same thing. I found that he had a weak fuel pump that was only putting out about 20 or psi, wich was starving the engine for fuel.
