1988 rx7 starting issue

Hi my car doesn't want to start I had to change the fuel injector damper and also spark plugs and fuel filter.the car starts but I have to rev it but as soon as I let go of the gas it turns off.When it doesn't turn on it sounds like the engine want to turn on but something kills it I thought it was a flooding and did all the steps it was flooded but not any more and it still won't start I also took something off it's said BO92 idk what that is but if you guys know what is the issue please let me know it would be so helpful and I would appreciate it.

make sure the hoses are connected on the intake and that the Air Flow meter is connected.Otherwise it just starts and dies.
It is at the Air box..where the filter is..Big connector on the Box.

I don't know..is it?
I am referring to the Wired Connection for the Air Flow meter.(air box)
If that connector is not ON the AFM the car will start But DIE,since the AFM is not sending signal to the Pump to turn it on and give fuel.
The only time it will run is off of the initiial Pressure of the pump at the Very beginning.Once it uses that fuel..it dies.
Check the wiring connection at the AFM and make sure it is plugged in.
