When I start my car it revs itself up after about 2-5 seconds and then stalls out (floods). I just bought the car about a week ago so I dont know much about the history of it except that everything looks original.

Check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump then comeback

Ok, checked the fuel pressure; it was good. I replaced the TPS and it seems to have helped out for the most part. The engine still stalls at stop signs, but only sometimes. It still revs itself, just not as much or as often. Ive checked every connection, fuse and plug.

Try cleaning out the throttle body plate and check the idle speed control motor and test the MAP sensor
