You might want to check the TPS voltage over its range from closed to WOT as it will turn off the injectors. You may have been moving the throttle plates when you put your hand over them.

okay,
i went out this morning and it cranked right up.
took it down the road and back it started running rough when i gave it gas
came back and looked and dang if i didn't put the tps on backwards!
turned it around and it won't start again,
did i screw up the tps?

When i finally got it running it ran rough like a tps problem.
This wouldn't stop it from starting would it?
TPS has round holes and not adjustable.
Can't get a read on the voltage on it for some reason...........

went and changed the tps, still no start.
got pissed and decided to move the dist a little.
started right up. timed it by ear and ran down the road and back. had a little miss so put the timing light on and it was about 20 something btc moved it to about 20 and it runs pretty good. WHAT causes this???

You time it at 10 BTDC with the SPOUT out.
