new clutch install now car starts and dies immediately??
 
Hey everyone.....Ive had my rx8 which is a 2004 for several years now and have never had something I haven't been able to figure out on it until now. I recently had my clutch adnfuel pump go out and I replaced the file pump but was moving add didn't have what I needed to do the clutch so Aamco did that part and I had I towed home because they're flooded it. I did a deflood and was quickly able to get it to start but even if I pressed the gas pedal down I am unable to keep it running. There is no throttle response from the gas pedal once started. I am flood starting with the gas pedal on the floor with no response from the gas pedal after starting. It just revs up for a second or two then the idle drops all the way down and stalls out no matter whether you touch the gas or not. There is no response from the gas pedal after start. I've checked for vacuum leaks, cleaned the MAF, new file pump and clutch. Not sure what to do?

Is fuel pressure being lost somewhere (like at the fuel pump)?
Who did the clutch work? Is the pedal properly adjusted? If it's not fully disengaging it could be dragging the engine to a stall... But that shouldn't happen if you're in neutral.

Clutch safety switch could do it too, it's on the pedal.

Any OBD codes?
