AB few problems

Alright so it's been a while since i last posted, but I finally have the car running (Mostly)

First off I can't get the fuel pump to turn on and pressurize with the ignition to on. When I ground the wire under the dash (The brown one) on the Fuel pump relay it will turn the fuel pump on. After the car is running I can disconnect that ground and the fuel pump will stay running.

Next thing is the cold start. If the car is cold (After I pressurize the lines and such) It will start, rev to 1500ish RPM's hold for 2-5 seconds then die. I can do this a few times then it will finally hold and keep a constant idle. As well, if I tap on the gas at all when it's trying to cold start it will kill it as well. I did just swap in another Air flow sensor (used), but never had it tested.

As well it's a 1987 RX-7 Turbo

the fuel pump does not turn on until the engine starts pulling air through the afm. On the cold start do you have the thermowax still on the car?
