2002 VTS.
As soon as I start it it stalls.
Start it again, runs for 1 second, stalls again.
Start it again and rev it, it then runs with me holding revs at 2k. If I let off it stalls. As it warms it gets better until it sits idling fine.
If I rev it the revs drop to 500ish and car 50% of the time stalls.
Misfires randomly, not greatly, but it runs like shite tbh

CODE P0170

So..
Changed..
Coilpack x3
ICV x2
MAP sensor x2
Crank/ flywheel sensor x2
TPS x2
Both temp sensors x3
Double checked timing
Dismantled inlet manifold, cleaned it and rebuilt with new seals not losing oil or water
Changed front O2 sensor
Swapped around front and back O2 sensors to see if problem 'moved' - it didn't.
Set of 4 new Bosch plugs

Ran great for years and now this.
Anything I'm missing?
