check your fuel pump wiring. The factory manual should help here. Holding the flap open will turn on the fuel pump, if not it switches off as a safety feature on fuel injected cars.

It opens itself by the airflow. Is there any leaks in the intake tube? Is the AFM in the stock posotion, like it is in the airbox?
