Look for some help
I did some maintenance on my 2G with a 1G motor I put new motor mounts I put new alternator power steering pump starter intake manifold gasket fuel injector O-rings fuel lab fuel filter, JM fab vacuum distribution I unplugged everything and plugged everything back start the car and it just revs up to 5000, my laptop is not connecting to the ecu and ideas??
 
At 5k, I'm on the 2 step.......:p
 
I hope the blockoff plate you refer to is actually the bypass plate for the FIAV not the ISC/IAC blockoff plate that is also available. If you removed the IAC (the big black sensor on your TB) for any reason make sure the o ring is still in place. The FIAV bypass can be modded for free but can be problematic so most people just use the $10 plate.
Besides doing the obvious BLT did you try adjusting the BISS to bring the idle down? I've often had to do BISS adjustments after TB related jobs. Turn it clockwise to see if the idle drops. Otherwise retrace your steps and triple check all your newly replaced vacuum hoses and their clamps.
Only vacuum hose I replaced was the one to the brake booster some said a check valve
 
Did you touch the boss screw at all? It could be trying to learn idle and your isc is bottoming out.
 
Where is that the Phillips Screw on the top

Base Idle Set Screw (BISS) Location:

It is a Philips head PLASTIC SCREW with an Oring on it. It is VERY FRAGILE. If you move it, you should count the EXACT AMOUNT you move it so you can return it to that position after you fix its problem.
I would tell you to turn it all the way IN and count exactly how many turns and partial turns it takes but it is so delicate that I am afraid you would damage it.
SO DON'T DO IT.
But it would shut off the idle air for the TB and normally would kill the motor if the ISC is unplugged. This is more complicated then I make it sound so it is for those that have tinkered on these cars for a while. It is for diagnostic purposes only.
Have you performed a Boost Leak Test yet?
Also, verify that the BISS Screw has not fallen OUT while you were trying to service it.
Just tips.
 
Update I found the Big vacuum leak the car has a jm fab intake I put a
EXTREME PSI HEAT BARRIER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET Didn’t realize this gasket is for a stock intake which is to say smaller ports that’s where it was leaking crazy shit
 
Well that is good news. Glad you got it figured out. Does it idle correctly now? :)
