Default Low Idle/Wont idle - need help and voltages.

Last weekend was the local race weekend a few hours from home. Wedged the slicks into the back seat, filled it with premium and octane booster, bumped timing to 14 and drove 3 hours both ways.

Got to the last intersection before my driveway and the car stalled... Its automatic....

Now, I just put the track heat intake on not too long ago, but, the car didnt act up like this just after I installed it. (yes, all is torqued to specs from TFS)

Other than the intake, I switched to a 76mm C&L MAF, 75mm BBK TB and world products (I think) EGR spacer plate.

What the hell is going on here? At first the car would have a really erratic idol, now it just wont idol, in order to drive the car, I have to run around with my foot on the brakes to keep the stall loaded, otherwise it stalls.

Also, (may not have anything to do with the issue) I have a fuse in the box that blows instantly, not sure what its for as I dont have the owners manual.

Finally, my starter is run off of a push button, after installing my headers, it simply didnt work off the key.

I was hoping for suggestions on this, I've already hosed all the vaccum lines with carb cleaner hoping for something, but no luck. Took the IAC off and blocked the port with my hand, and nothing changed.

All outta ideas here...

I've reused the actual electronic meter into the new MAF, was hoping to find the voltages so I can check that all the sensors are within ranger instead of just changing everything.

It does. There are two screws that hold the little sensor onto the top of the unit. I didnt even have to unplug it to make the switch.

Have you ran codes on the car?

Can you put a pic up of the fuse to give us an idea which one it is?
I have a manual to my 93 I can look it up in that I will find tonight if no one else chimes in. I believe they are the same.

Also check the voltage of the tps when you check the maf.

My check engine light comes on just before the car stalls, so I havent been able to scan it.

Anyone know where I can find the voltages?
