Check your throttle and try to rev when cold it sounds stupid but if it responds when it's cold then idk. If it doesn't respond when cold then check your pedals and see if it's pushing all the way.

Looking back you could have bought a fuel pressure gauge instead of parts , thats the one thing I would have checked is the fuel pressure , look for loose broken vacuum lines , spray some carb cleaner down the throttle

All vacuum lines are new. even change the fuel control valve. It ran up until yesterday before yesterday was just shutting off every once in awhile that's why I had been replacing parts for the last few months trying to find which one it is

It started a few months ago. I noticed that when you started it the RPMs were getting higher and higher as time went on and it takes 20 30 40 seconds for it to idle down. Then it started idling down real low and shutting off it only does it when it's hot runs like there's nothing wrong with it when it's cold.

are the injector(s) good ? the computer may be trying to run things normal under bad conditions , see if you can pull any codes , not sure how , may be a junction in the motor bay to jump wire 2 terminals and count flashes on the dash , may be the computer is bad ? ?
