Check all fuses, not just visual but with a DMM checking continuity

Ok Nick here is a shot int he dark. If you happen to have had the intake off did you reuse the gaskets??? If so I bet your problem is there. The gaskets probably aren't sealing right and are letting too much air into the heads and the cylinders. Therefore causing it to stall out and run like crap. My buddies cheby is doing the exact same thing and he didn't do any changes. He found it out by spraying starting fluid around the intake gasket area and when it idled up he knew about where it was. So you may nee to just change out the intake gaskets.

Just a thought for ya there bud.
