Temecula,
Just got the car started after a month,bent valves. well the car fired up fine and idled like a champ. When Driving and shifting into neutral car will stall out, not venting bov. Car shifts fine. Befor the head was back on the block I decided to elliminate sOMG vac lines and left the nessecary ones, bov vac, fpr vac, another one that connects to intakemani. Blocked off canister by plugging the first vac lines that connect to the whole device, plugged egr, and plugged all vac lines on throddle body. Also on left side of valve cover were these a nipple for venting into intake pipe, it broke off so theres nothing there. Can that cause any problems? sorry for the long post hope it makes some sort of sense.
 
have you double-checked the compression to make sure the new valves are sealing correctly? From what I understand, all the vac lines you've taken off are just emissions ones that are not needed for running, and the one from the valve cover is just to vent excess head pressure. As long as its not plugged, it doesn't need to be connected to the intake pipe...Mitsu just did that so that the engine would be a 'closed-loop' system, with nothing venting/leaking to the atmosphere. Make sure you are getting good compression.
