So basically i can turn the car over, it will fire up but will not idle. It dies instantly whether or not i give it gas. Has half a tank of gas, and fuel pressure is reading 40psi at the injectors, so I have come to the conclusion that it must be something to do with the ECU, or the IAC. Anyone else have any thoughts to what i could be?
The plugs are new within 5000 miles, air filter is new and unclogged everything else seems to be good on it.

check vacuum lines and also the blades on your throttle body to see if they're getting stuck closed. IAC would be a good thing to check also.

listen for the fuel pump. If it never stops trying to prime it's the ecu. Same thing happened to me.
