Got an issue with my LQ4 swap into a 91 Camaro.

I built this car last year and it ran fine. I?m self (YouTube) learning how to tune it. It probably had 1000 miles on it until the end of last summer. I was pushing it hard and suddenly thought I had a flat tire, so I pulled over into a parking lot. No flat. Tried to start the car and it wouldn?t start. Tried a few times and then heard a ?pop? from the engine bay. When checked, I found the rubber caps used to plug the open ports on the throttle body blown off and had to replace them. Had it towed and it?s basically sat all winter. Now, I?m trying to figure this out and get it back on the road.
I kept the same tune on it. It will barely fire then die (almost like VATS but VATS is turned off). I can try to give it throttle and it will try to sputter for a little while and die while I?m pumping gas. I can?t hardly get it to run to get a scan on it. No codes. I changed the CAM sensor and Crank sensor just guessing it could be a timing issue. No joy. I finally got it to run for just a minute. The only difference I can see in it from scans when it was running before, is that the MAP seems to be really high and doesn?t drop at start up.
I?m going to check tonight with a separate vacuum gauge. I can?t get it to run long enough to spray starter fluid around the intake.
I?m really stumped why this thing won?t run now. Before I start taking parts off the motor, I thought I would ask for your help on any ideas. Appreciate any help I can get.
I?ll attach a copy of my tune, a scan taken before the issue, and as much of a scan as I have been able to take recently.
Thanks
