1989 FC almost starts then dies

Any idea what might be the cause? New fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, injectors, spark plugs, ECU, trailing and leading coil packs. Wondering about vacuum or intake leak as that seems to be a common problem on threads with similar issues. Any input is appreciated!

Might be a dumb question but does it still die just as fast with the throttle open slightly? Before I tore my engine apart I had to hold down the pedal just a bit when starting or it would stall out. Pretty sure it ended up being a mix of faulty injectors and a big intake vacuum leak
