When Im at a stop sign and start to go I have to rev the engine up to go otherwise it will die. When I brought my car out earlier It was fine then it seems like when its hot is when this happens. Also when I started the car the last time it wouldnt start, took about 3-4 times. Im going to check for a boost leak tomorrow. Is there anything else it could be.

Should have included this info:
MAFT is Compinsating for the Injectors and the SAFCII is just chillin for right now. And the SAFC is wired correctly.
Last year we brought my alternator to a shop and they tested it and it worked fine(car hasnt been driven much since(maybe 300 miles)). But maybe its something electrical. Now that I think about it the lights kinda dimmed when I hit the pedal.
Also when I hit the gas pedal at a stop the RPMs go down.

Bad idle motor?

Add more fuel with the afc around idle speeds. Sometimes to get a solid idle you don't need to take out as much fuel as you think you do! Crank it up 10-15% or more and see how she does.

But thats the thing the car idles like a dream at about 900RPMs. But when I touch the gas the RPMs go down if I just tap it.

The RPM wire for the Maft was not pluged in. I think that fixed the problem.
