Any of the fuses that you replaced have to do with the engine idle sensor? Why did you replaced those fuses?

I will look but I but car used and someone had a bunch of stereo wiring going directly into the fuse box and was causing issues. So I replaced a bunch

Thinking maybe a relay blew while I was doing all of this..? Can't tell. There are some for pcm....not sure what that is but reading on line I think it had something to do with idle. Not sure
Yes, it is possible. You have to be careful when removing or adding aftermarket equipment to a vehicle. Many times people change the factory wiring to suit their purpose and if you don't know exactly what they did, then you may have a problem when removing it. The relay and fuse location are marked on the panel, the outside or the inside of the box. Take a few minutes and check them manually or with a test light.

I am stumped and have no money to take to mechanic have checked most if he fuses and relays. If I keep foot on gas it will run. Second I let off it dies. Can't be fuel pump because then it wouldn't start.. Tried unplugging the mass air flow sensor to see if that was it and still same thing...idk what to do. I need this car to be running in 2 days for work
I am sorry for your predicament but there is not much anyone can do long distance. Do you have a relative or friend that can take a look at the car? Remember, some one that knows what he is doing, you already have enough problems.
