Default HELP!!

Huge problems, My 1988 mustang GT 5.0 wont start, i recently installed a 65mm throttle body and lowering springs, the day after this stuff was installed it just idled funny and stalled out, i made it home but now it will only start once in a while, but for a short period of time!! and most of the time it wontfire up at all!ive checked all the vaccum lines, found a leak, and fixed it, tried cleaning the o2 sensors, cleaned the sensors on the side of the TB and also the sensor on back of the EGR has been switched with a different one, checked for fuel, its getting plenty, replaced fuel regulator and also the starter solenoid, and the car is getting plenty of spark!
somebody please help me with this, im in diar need of a proffesional mechanic but cannot afford it!
if you have any tips or have been in this situation before please let me know!

That doesnt tell you crap it just tells you yeah the pump is pushing volume you need to put a gauge on the schredor valve and check it with a gauge! if you have a weak pump like I had once it would only put out 15-20 psi need a gauge test that's the professional way.
