Engine won't run/no power

The other day i installed a new clutch and flywheel. Bolted everything back up drove it home no problem. The following day i installed an agency power crank pulley. Upon removing the old pulley i did happen to slightly (and i mean slightly!) bend part of the e-shaft alignment plate. Before putting the new pulley back in i straightened out the alignment plate and it looked perfectly fine. Bolted everything back up and went to start it. The car wouldn't stay idle at all and died out. Tried giving it some gas and just bogged down and was terribly responsive, untill i let off then it died out again. Now when i drove the car home the night before, from doing the clutch/flywheel replacement, the cold air intake was popped off right in front of the MAF sensor. Now thinking that possibly the MAF is just blown now I checked if that was the problem by plugging in a computer scanner and the IAT code went off. Today i replaced the MAF sensor, and still the same problem. Just out of curiosity, I unplugged the MAF sensor and tried starting the car. Surprisingly, the car ran, had throttle response, but once warmed up, the idle would die out. Also while running, the car smelt like A LOT of unburned gas, and shot a lot of white smoke out of the exhaust.

*Please note, I DID reset the NVRAM and KAM* (20 brake stomps/odometer trick)

If any one has any clue what could be happing please help me out.
