The Frustration!

Alright so I just posted a thread a couple days ago but that is fixed and this is different. The non responsive map was due to the 5 volt power wire being open somewhere in the harness, so i tapped into the one from the TPS. After that the car started but had an extremely high idle, like 2500-3000. I then realized that I forgot to adjust the idle bleed screw. so I adjusted it about 1/2 turn from all the way out. I started the car and it was bouncing from about 700 to 1300. I let it sit awhile and nothing changed so i started moving the bleed screw out and got no response. then i touched the gas and it went back up to around 3000 and would not come back down with changing the bleed screw or anything. so i tried to just idle it around my road, maybe 1/8 mile total and it I was just letting it idle around in first gear and it started to backfire and want to die. So i had to rev it to get it back and i let it try to idle and it eventually stalled. Now it wont start. I tried pulling the trailing plugs and wiping them clean and checking compression. I then cranked it awhile with the fuel pump unplugged. the compression is good and i cant see anything way out of whack on the PFC. is there a way to re-start the idle learning process? and any ideas of why it wont start?

without you taking logs on a Datalogit, it's hard to give much advice

I dont currently have a datalogit but i could take a picture of the screen or post voltages or something. And is there a way to re-start the idle learning process without clearing the tune?
