Still doesnt start!!!
Well my gslse still doesnt start.........I am totally lost, I have plenty of fuel, plenty of spark, good compression, timing is good, good injectors, I have no clue what to look for anymore. Itll start once or twice a day but as soon as it starts it dies. It doesnt idle, doesnt let me rev it, doesnt bog down at all, just dies! Can you guys please help me out!? Im going crazy! Thanks in advance!

Vacuum leak would be my first check... Look for any loose hoses.
Double check the ignition components. If it makes spark in open air, it might not make spark in compression.
How good is the fuel?

I would also check the switch in the AFM for the fuel pump. The SE pump runs when the key is in start and then after the engine starts, the switch in the AFM keeps the pump running. This may expain why it will only run for a couple seconds. One way that you could test it is to put a jumper wire across the terminals of the connector that has a rubber boot next to the AFM. This will bypass the AFM switch and allow the pump to run whenever the key is in the on position. Give it a try and see if it helps anything.
