Anybody locally (pa) that wouldn't mind a phone conversation about one that is driving me nuts. Idles fine, won't Rev past about 1000rpm.... and before anyone posts up their magical answer, I've already done everything cruiser says on his write up and more... more or less I need to talk to someone rather then type it all out due to the long list. ..

May also be an issue with the fuel pressure regulator - allowing just enough gas to idle but nothing more
edit: is this for Jeff?

if it idles fine and then dies, it's probably a bad TPS. Gotten the engine wet lately? Bad cam/crank sensor could cause this also. Check the C101 connector for corrosion and loose wires.

lol ok? Sorry i'm not available for a phone call right now.
few things to try:
- check and freshen grounds, particularly the ones by the oil dipstick.
- unplug the vac line from the map sensor and verify engine rpms change
- clean the IAT sensor
- bypass the fuel pump ballast resistor (white thingy) on the drivers side fender by connecting the terminals together
