i've been having a problem with my car not staying on. i put in a new motor and i allready put everything together. i set the fuel pressure at 40 without vaccum, my timing's at 12 degr. or so, but it just wont stay on unless i give it gas. this thing's driving me crazy. any help is appreciated thanks.

Check for all vacuum leaks and double check that all sensors are connected.

Have a buddy start it up and you control the throttle from the engine compartment and adjust it at the same time.....

You might have a bad iac motor.Or you have a bad vacuum leak in the upper manifold..
Check around the throttle body...

IIRC there is no need to adjust the tps, the computer handles all of that. It just needs to be in a range of .50-1.20.

edit - What I stated is for a 5.0L motor. Your OP didn't specify what motor this is.
