I vaguely remember (this was about 2 years ago) when I cleaned the EGR tube (had to depressurize fuel system for that job as well) that the engine flooded when I tried to start it, so I waited until the next day and it started (don't know why) so I'm kinda hoping that that is the case right now. But if anyone out there is familiar with what is going on any input would be greatly appreciated.

Did you disconnect the MAF for any reason?? Some people claim your symptoms with an unplugged MAF.
OT: Personally, my car starts and idles just fine with the MAF unplugged, it's when I give it gas the car would stall.

I did disconnect the MAF. But I plugged all the connectors back in I will check to make sure all the connections are secure though.

i replaced the valve cover gaskets on my 95 close to a year ago. I remember disconnecting A LOT of things.
You might want to look at the writeup for valve cover gaskets, and see if you missed anything.
I did. I missed a vacuum line and caused a myriad of symptoms, until reconnected.
Also mixing up the vacuum lines, I would imagine, might cause some weird problems.
How bout the vacuum lines for the IACV?

Note: I didn't remove EVERYTHING off the UIM I just removed enough to get it out of the fuel injector's way.

Well I did a search on the forum and found something similar going on with someone Else's car, it was a grounding issue and was solved by running a grounding wire from the negative terminal to a transmission bolt. I will try that out see if it helps
