Update: clean all grounds noticed oil sensor connected was broken and replaced. Engine coil connector wire was frayed, spliced and repaired. Replaced engine to ground wire with 4 gauge battery cable. Then still no start but much more pep. Then I tried(thanks for the tip) feathering the gas pedal at startup and boom. It took a sec but it started and stayed idling. So a dirty throttle body and iac was to blame. You know your ****. Thanks guys.

Good call Jordan on the Idle Control Valve that’s another possibility
