You can use brake cleaner to find vacuum leaks...but do so at your own risk because it is flammable.
Are you sure this is capped off and sealed 100%?

Upon reading your advice i removed the intake manifold again. Whats weird is i didnt see my gaskets rolled over but looking at the LH intake on the heads theres some light markings near the inlet. but now Im sure the gaskets are sealing now, i removed everything that was in the way for an easy intake manifold install.
The cap was sealed, at least i think but to be sure i switched to the oem sound tube and capped it off further down on the sound tube. I dont think installing the intake manifold did anything. I reinstalled everything again and fired her up...then she dies immediately.
I got the car to start up and idle but i need to apply some throttle right after startup to keep her running. After applying some throttle the car would keep on running with no issues. Really weird i didnt change anything.
Questions cause im scurred to keep idling her.
when i was revving it my knock correction learn value was going up a little, it increased as i revved and went back down when i lifted off the throttle. Is that normal? What is good oil pressure for built motors? Right now theres 5w-30 conventional oil in the engine per break in instructions. The oil temps were at 170-176F and my oil pressure was at 20psi. Is that too low? I just remember when i was on stock motor, my oil pressure for that would be like 30psi on 5w-30 for same oil temps
Video of me starting with no throttle and starting with throttle
For the 2nd video, maybe im just paranoid, now but does my motor sound normal? It sounds extra clacky then the high pressure fuel pump goes off but i know the fuel pump is clacky like that. Just the prior clackiness sounds odd to me.

Theres 3 different logs in this one.
1st one is the one where i let her idle a little bit.
Cheers!
