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
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
