So there is a map sensor on the tb and one on the firewall? Now that it does not start:
Are you getting fuel to the cylinders and how about spark.These are some of the basic checks that "that boy sammy" was talking about. Gives more of an idea,although you did say that it cranks but will not start. Check these basics and post results.

Falling asleep here, so if it starts up and dies. check your coil to see if its within specs and have your ignitor tested. I had a car do this and my timing was off so you might want to check mechanical timing to see if timing is still lined up. Could also be your fuel pump that might be going.

No it starts up, runs for about 15 seconds and then dies......that's why I didn't why he was being so rude.....I'm not a complete idiot.....I just can't figure this thing out....

You can get to the top of the fuel pump, inside the car. You'll have to remove the center console (screws on the sides and inside the center console compartment), including the console around the radio head-unit. And then the rear bins (screws inside the bins) will have to be removed.

Once all that paneling is out, you should see the top of the fuel pump.

Also, you should check your CELs before you do anything else. They're there for a reason
