My C2500 starts but will not stay running. I have a video of what it is doing. The ECM was saying the air intake valve sensor was bad. I replaced it, the fuel filter, spark plugs, coil, wires, entire distributor with ignition module cap and rotor. Seems to be getting enough fuel and spark. Runs smooth. If I give it gas it chokes out. I checked the TPS and it is working. Baffled.

This sounds like you have an EGR valve that is not closing all the way here is a video of how to check the valve once you remove it.
