Are you sure the timing is set correctly? Might want to try carburetor cleaner around the injector areas. If there is a vacuum leak, the cleaner will be sucked in and you will have smoke out the tailpipe. Some people use a propane torch and the propane will increase the idle speed if there is a vacuum leak, but if you can't get a steady idle, that might not help.

well turns out there is no leak in the system. i checked everything. i reseated my injectors and replaced my gaskets so everthing is sealed correctly. I got a code scanner and it turned up a code 12 (diagnostic test is running properly.Engine computer verifies no RPM reference pulses are present during enngine off testing.) I sto;; havent tuned the tps nopr IAC ran my car and still having the same problem. I treied with the MAF off and still same problem.

well i found the problem, my IAC and Tps are off so i tried to adjust it. unfortunately my parking brake and brakes dont work so my car slowly creeped its way into the garage wall. Just sheetrock white stuck on the car which i can buff out cant say the same for the wall though. Is there any way i can bleed em out myself and fix that parking brake??

Also, your IAC is not adjustable, however there is a procedure to "reset" it after you have removed it. I hope you cleaned the carbon buildup on your IAC "pintle" with carb. or TB cleaner. Also clean out the air passage way inside the TB.
