NEED HELP; Car won't stay on after Valve Cover Gasket replacement
 
I just finished installing the valve cover gasket and all the parts on top of it. I go to start the car and it starts to IDLE horribly, like up and down the rev limiter struggling to stay on. So I go onto the computer to follow the ECU reset procedures : http://www.6mt.net/forum/performance...rocedures.html .

I did all of them and I'm pretty sure they were done correctly. The car now starts up and idles good but soon after it starts, it turns off. First light that appears on the dash is the battery light. I took a video to record it as it happens. http://vid1107.photobucket.com/albums/h394/Ahmadmaark/20140714_142557.mp4
I was thinking it might be the Camshaft sensor because I removed it to get the harness out of the way during installation. Although, I put it back in properly and I would assume that a code will appear on the scan stating that something is wrong with that sensor.

THERE ARE NO CODES WHEN I SCAN.

FYI : I have an OSIRIS TUNE, an aftermarket AEM Cold Air Intake, and a 5/16 plenum spacer. (In case it matters)

Start over with re-install and find what you left unplugged.

Grab a can of brake parts cleaner or starting fluid...

turn on the engine and spray around the work you performed.... If it rev's you have a vac leak somewhere.

Perhaps the rubber that goes on the oil filler is being pinched?

Thanks for the advice guys, I just fixed the problem. I still don't know what was the issue but what I did was I turned the car to the on position. Then I switched to the power map I had and started the car. Car idled just fine. I then revved it up and no problem.

It must've been something that needed to be reset right??? Maybe since the map has all the calibrations set, it worked when I loaded that map.
