Ok, so here's the scoop.

I have a 1996 2500 with the 360 v8. With replacing the TPS, Oil sender, Crank sensor, plugs, wires.
And now it won't stay running unless I am holding down the gas pedal to keep the rpms up. Could there be an issue with the computer? I can hear the fuel pump, and when tested its at 41 psi when I turn the key to the on position. 55 when I have my foot on the gas to keep it running. I changed out all the gas that was in the tank since it had been in there a fair while. As well as got it as clean as I could.

Any other ideas that I may have missed?

Does the TPS have an adjustment on it? Slotted mounting holes maybe? Possibly some sort of initialization process for a new sensor?

Check the TPS but...

If it won't curb idle, then I'd be testing or replacing the Idle air solenoid. Make sure you're getting voltage to it from the ECM
