Make sure your MAF sensor is propperly plugged in.
Check the PVC & breather hoses are propperly connected.
Check spark plugs arent fouled and check all HT leads are propperly connected.

Is there anything else that you took off at the same time?

maf is fine, i unplugged it and replugged it in. i got all the plugs in as hard as i can get them. although one sticks out slighty more than the rest. i started it b4 and ran alot better, lower idle but smoother, then just died again. what are HT leads?

the breather hoses r in and didnt touch anythgn esle.

is it leaking at all??

like firestorm said check all things spark and all vacuum lines. Also go over everything you touched...

peace out and good luck
