Default help! throttle body problem

i put the stock throttle body back on and now the car will start but won't stay running.
if i give it gas it will rev up really high and then cut out.

if you can get it to idle is it really roughj? it might need adjusting but then again it might be your fuel injectors not feeding enough fuel to your engine

it won't idle, if i rev it it will stay going but i can't keep it at a constant rev long enough it revs too high then i let off and it dies
how do you adjust the idle on the stock tb?
edit: okay i had a friend hold the tb pulley down while i started it and after a few tries got it to idle but it was reallllly rough and shakey then it finally died after like 10-15 seconds

You may have to adjust the throttle cable. Go ahead and unscrew the idle screw to the point where it's almost all out and then adjust the cable

in order to fully reset the ecu you have to bring the car to normal operating temp....that's kind of hard if it won't start :-(
okay just wanted to say that the tps, o2 sensor and all hoses/clamps/bolts are tight...someone plz help i need to move this thing out of here soon.

BT, You could be right, reset the ECU. If that doesn't work check to ensure all your vacum hoses are on and not kinked and that the MAF is not on backwards.
