Engine won't idle.

I have a Cat GP40K with a Vortec V6 engine in it that would not idle. We replaced throttle body, Mass air flow sensor and the accelerator pedal sensor. The engine will now start for a few seconds, but hunts for idle, then dies out. We can remove the fuel supply hose at the mixer and hold it a away from the fitting about 1/4" and it will run. It dies out as soon as we intsall it. There are no codes.

Fact of the week
At the opening ceremony of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in 1932, marching bands were instructed to walk out of step as they crossed the bridge. This unusual directive was given as a precaution due to concerns about the bridge's structural integrity during its early use.
