You might want to try deflooding the car using a procedure that has some teeth to it. Start off by disconnecting the electrical plug to the fuel pump and then spray some starter fluid into the air intake and use just a couple of seconds of spray if that and then try to start the car. Do this three times over and then reconnect the pump back up and try to start it normally. And you mentioned the BAC had a leak. Is this a thing of the past, as it's already been addressed, or it still has a leak?

Ok I just got a weird issue when I tired to start it Heres the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLhk0RelGYo OOOO PLAY THE VIDEO ON MUTE OR LOWERED VOLUME. ITS VERY LOUD.
I dont have my foot on the accelerator, The throttle cable isnt too tight. I capped off some vacuum ports. Blocked off the BAC and OMP. And added my premix.

If the car has cruise control then that cable might be causing the high rev.
Are you pressing on the accelerator to start the car though?
Do the throttle plates look to be in the proper position if you look at them w/the intake tube removed from the throttle body? If they do then manually press down on the throttle linkage and see if the plates move back into the proper position or not.

What happens if the accelerator pedal is stepped on a bit when it idles at 5000 rpm? Do things stay the same or not.
How long does the very high idle last? More than 17 seconds. I ask because perhaps the AWS is at play here, but probably not though. The AWS has two wires and one is Brown/Yellow. When the solenoid is activated this wire has a ground on it. You can jumper a wire in place into the back of the two wire plug going to the solenoid and supply voltage to the Br/Y wire which will prevent it from coming on and would perhaps help to rule out this item from the equation.

I fixed that issue. It wa something soo stupid. A metal tab was keeping the throttle opened ever soo slightly Now I have a issue of it bogging. I'll post up a video when I do some editing on it.

It shouldn't make a difference. If you set the TPS w/the engine off then it doesn't need to idle below 1100 before turning the car off as long as the primary plates return to a normal position, but if you set the TPS while it's above that level while running you won't accurately set the TPS.
