89 starts good, runs good, and stalls immediately after..
has new FP, MAP, TPS, and was running perfect last night. This morning I started it, and bluh .it will restart immediately if I unhooked the battery cable, and put it back, or I can wait about a min for it. Holding the key doesn't help. The doors are off and cables for door electrical are cut (previous owner) so the possible immobilizer can't just be key turn. Checked FP relay by jumping it. More info to follow, I'll be out diddling it. Thanks for looking, and any help you guys provide. Yes, I did look at other threads long before even creating an account.

very good possibility the fuel pump ballast resistor is bad. Bypass it and see if that solves the problem..

How did you adjust that TPS?

ECU could give 2 ****s about your passenger door locks.
