Default Car still dead.Running out of ideas!

Still can't get my car to run!Cranks up like a champ,then give it some gas and it dies.Sounds like i'm choking the damn thing when i give it gas.Going to try to find my ECU ,see what code it's giving off.Not exactly sure where it is?Also going to go ahead and replace the cap and rotor,see if that changes any thing.It's on my to do list any way.Well if you got any suggestions fire them off.
Thanks-HC4G

Swap the TPS and the MAP sensor plugs. They are the same shape... Just try it.

sure the fuel pumps not got a dodgy connection, run it straight through as a test.
