Sounds like your typical vacuum leak going on there. Spray some brakecleen around, if it revs higher (assuming you can even keep it running) then there's your leak. I think propane does the same thing (not 100% sure) so if you have a torch laying around just use that, less messy. Obviously don't like the torch though.
the car idles fine when i start it up in the morning after it sat overnight, if i would start it and then turn it off and start it again, it will idle like shit, like it chokes out. However if i give it some gas and catch it and slowly bring it back to around 700-800 rpm it will idle buy itself
yup sounds like a vac leak (the code confirms the pcmn is adding fuel to account for unsampled air)
you have the oem L67 tb/maf or a N*/LS1 with external maf?
oem TB you can drill/tap into the oem fresh air supply passage (or into the passage on the blower) and run it to the VC.
N*/LS1 you can use the oem sample tube unless it was blocked off in which case you can knock out the plug and tap with 1/8th in NPT to run a line to the VC

next time you have it off and look at the gasket surface you will see the TB coolant passage as well as another hole...this is a passage that ducts fresh metered air from in front of the throttle blade but behind the maf for the OEM fresh air supply for the PCV system...find a sutable spot to tap into and run a hose to the VC oil fill cap.
orr you could just tune the maf table to idle on the VC breather vacum leak....if you let it run long enough it'll learn the trims...but because they are so far off the pcm will knock the LT's back to 0 then let it adjust again so sometimes it'll still idle funny

I am going togo against James and say I dont think this is a fresh air supply issue. Sounds to me like installer error. Core not sealing? gaskets? maybe some IC bolt(s) not installed? Sounds like a HUGE vack leak.
I had a similar issue after I made a pass at GLD. The car would just not idle right and it sounded like it had a cam. Driving around it was fine, but at slow speeds or idle it just wanted to die. I had to set the idle at 1200 so I could drive it home with no issues. I forgot what the fix was but I was pretty sure one of my IC bolts came off or something. Maybe Ron Vogel can chime in, he fixed it.
