try holding it to the floor when starting it hot. Could be your coolant temp sensor is telling the ECM its cold. If thats the problem take a good look at the conector pins for corrosion.

the part the other guy was talking about is inside the throttle body. the little vacuum hose on top feeds it. that wasnt the problem. im completely stumped now. it wont even idle the lsat couple days. just spudders and dies. if i floor the gas like you said it will stay running but wont rev above 1000. i tried another mafs, new fuel pump, new filter, new plugs-wires-rotor-cap-o2.

You might want to check my thread as well: My problem is still not resolved either.
