almost started today, but wont stay

okay, so i have everything hooked up. t2 swap on a se. all 1988 stuff in the 87se to inclued ecu and wiring harness. Ive been working on her for a while now, and im ready to drive it.

problem is though. when i start it i dont think its getting fuel. i checked all my grounds, checked my fuel pump, checked my injectors, and everything looks alright. fuel pump is aftermarket and the fuel filter is new.

im running pre mixed right now, and i threw some 2 cycle in her, but half the quart. its injcetor friendly for a waverunners and stuff. it only had, not even a quarter tank of gas, but i put 2 more gallons in it, bringing it suprisingly up to half. idk how accurate the thing is.

but any who. it wont start on her own, so i threw in some starting fluid at the elbow for the intercooler, and she fired up. yippiee. but reved up to 5,000 rpms. ??? i was confused, for a second, but then the rpms went down to nothing and she stalled out. i tried giving it gas the next time i did it, but it still did the same thing.

it just wont start. i dont think its gettin fuel, and if it is, its getting nasty fuel. the gas might of been old, or maybe something else is wrong, like the injectors. i pulled off the primary injectors and tried starting it, and i had a friend watch the injectors to see if anything was coming out, and there was. it was getting fuel.

so moral of the story. why the hell doesnt my car work. i did the grounding thing. i removed all and i mean all emmissions, no exhaust hooked up but a down pipe, no air pump. throttle body mod. greddy boost controller. and she revs up to 5000 rpms when i do get it started for the 3 seconds its on. no vac leaks that i can see.

oh yeah i also hooked back on the intercooler so the afm would be functional right as it started, but it didnt help either. maybe i have too much 2 stroke in the gas tank??? hmm. help me. haha thanx
