What is your question?
Recently, my AC compressor went out. I decided to try and replace it myself, and I replaced the compressor, accumulator, and orifice tube, and after putting everything back together the car ran! After driving around for about an hour, the car shut down and would no longer remain on. When I start the car, it starts and runs normally, but rather than idling, the RPMs immediately drop to zero. If I rev the engine, the car stays on and even drives, but as soon as I let off the gas the engine shuts off. Any ideas about what to do?? Thanks in advance!

Hello, the extent of the repairs performed and the unknown complications that could have occurred make it difficult to offer advice. It would appear that something not related to the air conditioning system, but rather related to engine performance has been compromised during the repairs performed. Check for any obvious vacuum leaks from disconnected hoses. A test of fuel pressure and fuel delivery at the engine is needed, as is checking for any unmetered air leaks and no air delivery restrictions.
