I've seen the AFM wiring cause this problem. Leaving the plug
off the AFM box gives the same effect. Rough idle. Touch the
gas pedal & it stalls immediately. Check the connector at
the back of the AFM, as the wires can easily break off in
the connector. Check also that the grounds to the block are
all in place and are clean. Make sure your fuel pump is
buzzing. The relays that control this are in the engine bay,
on the left above the coil. Also check the fuel pressure
thingy has its vacuum hose connected & that there are no
hoses leaking on the air intake plenum ...
