Ok I have a 92, Nissan 240sx s13 KA24DE motor, I just got finished with replacing my thrashed rods and mains, and timing kit. After the rebuilding was finished we preped the engine for a start, after a short while of cranking it started and the RPMs shot right up to 2500, then went right to a stall... I did everything necessary like oiling the rod/mains and cams before starting. So I looked around and noticed a blown intake gasket so I replaced, did noting, looked around some more then noticed a trash injector, replaced and did nothing to solve the issue then finnaly I shoved my arm up the induction box and blocked off the MAF sensor and it actually stayed at an Idle, a ruff but stable idle, so I thought that was it, replaced it and still nothing!!! Note: (It drives with some sputter but after I give it some throttle it will drive like normal but as soon as i ley off the throttle it wants to stall out about 2000 rpm I don't know if it's in the MAF wiring or what, when I disconnect the MAF sensor it acts even worse so I know it's getting connection. It did idle before I took it apart, it did have a missfire in cylinder 1 but thats gone now. I checked all the vacuum lines and everything seems the way it should be. One other thing at some point trying to figure all this out I blew my Engine Control Fusable Link, I replaced it because I had no Ignition. So any ideas would be appreciated. I do have the timing correct, I timed it with a timing light aswell. I'm also not getting any Engine lights or codes and the light does work. HELP lol

Nevermind, it was the intake manifold. Didn't seal right the first time...
