need some ideas

I picked up a cobbled p.o.s. and cleaned her up with an emissions delete and corrected the crap wiring job. They put an s5 engine in an s4 car so I swapped front timing covers and water pump housings. I have compression, fuel, and spark. But, she only runs for a few seconds at a time. It took off with starting fluid and the intake tube off the car. Realized I had a pretty bad fuel leak corrected it and still no start. I've checked and sanded all grounds, wiring, vacuum ports, tps adjustment and timing. I've even left the plugs off of the secondaries just as a precaution because I was flooding pretty bad. I'm lost and have no idea really where else to look. Thanks for any help
