Default Died while sitting at light and wont start, or will start and barley run

I have had some work done recently on my car ( new head and oil pump ) The car got back up and running for about 700 miles. During those 700 miles it ran great other then getting poor gas milage and having poor low end power. I was sitting at a light and the car died on me. I pushed it out of the road and it would not start. I had the car towed home and after sitting for a few house the car would start but ran at a very low (400) rpms. When I push the gas nothing happens. I though this could be a fuel problem so I check the fuel pump and it is runniing, I opened the service valve on the fuel rail to make sure there was flow and there was. I am kinda stumped at this point, there was no check engine light so I can pull a code. PLEASE HELP!!!!

When you press on the gas, nothing happens as if the RPM doesnt go up? If so, check your TPS connection.
