Default EG starts but dies

okay guys so this is the last time imma try with this car, i changed the injectors it starts now BUT when i let it idle the rpms go from 2000 or 1500 and decrease to like 800 or less and the car dies, and wont start unless it sits for a while, so today i gave it a whirl and whoop it started but did the same thing again except when rps got low car would do the sputtering dieing sounds so when i pushed the gas peddle the **** would rev up again but after a few seconds it either shuts off or starts sputtering except this time i can start it back up what do you guys suggest ?

Check your injector wiring resistance between the (-) and (+) terminals of the connectors. You should have 10-13 ohms.

Invest in a DVOM. If you are low on cash one can be had for less than $10 at a local Harbor Freight or parts store. Don't give up.

You also need to give us more information on the car, what's done to it, what year it is, engine, etc.

Probably a bad o2. did this on my 92 hatch where the idle drops at a stop but never died since i adjusted my idle with the screw on the intake manifold.
