HELP.. car won't run for more than 3 or 4 seconds

The following was removed:
Omp
Air pump
AC
Cold start Ast.
Emission control (on the side of the Lower Intake)

The Upper and Lower intakes were slightly ported

It seems to start fine, rev's up a little bit to about 3000rpm, than dies, if i give it gas it hesitates a bit and some times backfires a little.

any ideas

check the AFM. That is the problem I had with my car not idling at all. It might have been shaken loose by accident or maybe a vac line popped off by chance. Check the AFM first alot easier to check that than vac leaks.
