starts then revs to 2k rpm, and then dies... i did the lim gasket twice because the first one i put in got twisted. car has been sitting for about 3 months. it has gas and i put seafoam in with said gas (fuel treatment). any ideas?
things done
new lim gasket
new sc gasket
throttle body gasket
o rings for between the sc and intake
o rings for injectors
new silicone vacuum lines
and some more
 


That's a classic vacuum leak scenario. Check your vacuum hoses, especially the big ones like brake booster and the evap where it goes to the side of the TB (if you have a year with that)
 
OK.. then you aren't gonna wanna hear this, if you goofed a gasket the first time...could you have goofed a gasket a second time?

Did you put in all 12 LIM bolts?
 




Check the big vacuum line that goes into the side of your throttle body for your evap. make sure that boot isn't split and it's snug on the nipple.
