Help Please!!!!!!
ok, i had an electrical fire about a year ago, i just now got everything replaced, lower and upper intake passenger side wiring harness, injectors, afm and throttle body, pretty much everything but the engine. it wouldnt start, found out that it was the fuel pump, i changed that last nite and now my car will start, but dies immediatly afterwards, it starts, goes up to 2k then dies, any help would be much appreciated, its been almost 3 years since ive got to drive my baby and i dont want to take it to a shop, ive done all the work on it myself and id like to keep it that way, anyone have any ideas that might be able to help me out?

There is a micro switch in the afm.It's attached to the flapper door. That switch has to be made for the fuel pump to keep runing after the engine starts and you let the key go from START to ON.
There is a fuel pump jumper connector near the front right strut tower. Its a two socket outfit. Yellow in color. Jumper it. That bypasses the afm micro switch. See if the car will stay running like that. If it does....suspect the afm plug is not on good or the micro switch needs some exercise.
