Ken,,
NO NO NO you didn't.. I just don't want to rub anybody the wrong way,, I'm lost right now as to why my cursor is moving the opposite way as ever other table that I have looked at..
I get antsy when I'm lost like this, and I really start showing how dumb I really am :shock:

please feel free to jump my as$ anytime,, I can take it!! I have 3 daughters and a wife, female dog and 2 female cats, I'm use to being wrong!!

Really sounds like a large vacuum leak to me. Mine did the same with a vacuum line disconnected.

That was my suspicion early on. Or, connected to 'ported' vacuum.

I am not yet convinced that the this is a matter of the dot being in the wrong place...... The screen shots posted by the OP look fairly normal judging by his description.

I suspect that the only way we're going to be of any real help, is to be able to look at your tune and an attendant data log. In instructions for posting these are contained in the manual as noted by James:

well the vacuum port I used was a metered port for hvac?? changed that and it idled a little better!! but it still wasn't staying running,, thought I had ran out of gas? Nope!! still wanted to stall,, messed with a few more times, but the car is loud my dog is going stir crazy in the house :o I have exhaut pipes and mufflers coming in the mail,, I posted a datalog that I had sent to Matt.. hopefully it show up on here?,, anyway you guys got me convinced its a vacuum leak, so I pulled the intake and found what I think is injectors not seated all the way in? they didn't leak fuel but 4 of the 8 were not all the way in,, and had 2 of the intake gaskets looking not good?
Thanks again for everyone's input,, I feel like you guys have me on the right path.. just don't give up on me!! :oops:

Even in a naturally aspirated application, it's good practice to do a boost leak test with like 5psi pressure in the intake system
