o\k plug it in not a big difference still running ****ty. with al the sensors in it started up and ran somewhat ok so I unplug the maf and it took a few cranks to start then tried the idle air and it started to run rather jerky. so I assume those sensors are working. throttle postion sensor looks new when I took it off. so maybe those 3 out of the question im leaning toward fuel related problems I do smell gas in the driver set while it is cranking over not sure what to do
there are some extra pigtails up by the ignition module but while I was at work mechanic said probably extra ones since it doesn't have California emissions.. he said they came like that. althou idk.. any new ideas where is the pressure regulator located?

also would like to add I just started it it starts a little better now idk why but when I shut it off I tried again and it cranked for about 10-15 seconds and boy could I smell gas seen no gas moisture or gas from exhaust but it felt like it was flooded as it shuttered and struggled to rev for about 10 seconds then it even out seems after idling a while it drops down to 900 or so then if u hit the gas back up to 2000 for a gradule decrease in rpms im gonna buy one at the junk yard tm $7.99 there is a hose off the top that connects to a box near the ig con then leads to the intake what is that box?

OK, with the same symptoms, I changed all these sensors, cleaned my TB, Fuel Filter, Air After ect. I found that if there is are in the cooling system, it will cause rough and Hi idle, and Hard to start if the engine is hot. Also, if you got a MAS sensor code, and the car ran a little better when you messed with it, unplugged or plugged it in, why not change it?

I dont know how to upload pics as of now but it is running a lot bwtter took the intake off and cleaned everything up a lot of build up in there. Also replaced wires snd plugs
A new problem i found the back oxy sensor is not connected, the pig tail on the wiring harness is diffrent then the one on the oxy sensor just very slightly. Like it would fit if i trimmed the one side ill try to upload a pic
