Well.I cleaned the Maf even though it looked good and it didnt help.
Also I ordered fuel pressure gauge from summit and should arrive by saturday.
And if its not too much gonna get my exhaust done tommorow.(remove cats,for now until I get full header back exhuast system).
Also gonna change fuel filter tommorow and put in fuel injector cleaner.
And gonna buy the intake manifold gaskets and hopefully replace them this weekend.
Also when I was cleaning the maf I took off my intake pipe and checked throttle body.opened fine.buuttt..it was sooooooo dirty inside.Im talking crazy dirty.sprayed carb cleaner in there and still a lot of gunk.So I cant wait to take off the manifolds and clean them out and replace gaskets.
So.Im slowly but surely gonna find the problem.im kinda frustrated but It's gonna be good because when I do find the problem im gonna have everything replaced.hahaha

oh.and I'm gonna check the timing this weekend also.So if I finish all this and still dont find the problem.theeeen I'll be pissed off.

I FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!! I knew it was gonna be something small and stupid.it was just figuring out what it was is the time consuming part. Well went to exhaust shop and guy wouldnt touch my cats and would only replace them.so I was a little sour about that but went home and changed the fuel filter and WAALLLAAAAHH..started her up.reved in neutral and was waiting for it to cut and bam shot up to 6,500.hahaha.woooopppss!!! WASNT EXPECTING THAT.haha So reved again and went maybe to 5 and i let off.then took her for a one time run and took off in D and bam she pulls till around 5 or 5,500 I forget.I was just happy she pulled.hehe Anyways.turned around and went back home.I was scared to push it again and break it.hahaha anyways.Im still gonna do other maintanence like intake mani gaskets etc.but I dont need to do them right away anymore.So thats the end to one of the happiest days of my life!!!!!!hehe

I guess I posted too soon!! I was worried that would happen.ended up after that drive I waited for my brother to come home so he could ride with me to pepboys.Ended up car went back to how it was.mad and confused at least I knew it was fuel problem. Ended up my brother squezed the return fuel line to see if the pressure boost would do anything.first time nothin.then I gave up.then he said you wanna try again.I thought no then later decided to go ahead.he squezzed harder this time and BAM.reved all the way up to redline in neutral!!!! so after I went onto summitracing and ordered their 190lph fuel pump and 2nd day air.So my fuel pump and fuel pressure guage should come same time or a day apart!If for soooome odd reason it doesnt fix it then at least I know its the injectors.WOOOHOOO!!hahaha Sad day but helped at least!

we told you need to run some clean though the fuel tank to clean everything. IMO i would use Seafoam it cleans everything. when you change the fuel pump make sure to drain as much fuel as possible it will make the replacement a lot easier
