I replaced the valve cover gaskets and the plenum gaskets and now when I start it it will not idle and it backfires. I just watched your video and unplugged the MAF. And then I unhooked the throttle position sensor. And it runs at about 2500 rpm nice and smooth. If I plug in the TPS, it chokes and shuts off. The TPS looks to be operational but I am guessing that that is the problem. So I was facing two issues. The air intake was disconnected and the MAF was still plugged in, and the throttle position sensor apparently is bad.
