my problem
Usually a engine that will start and die a couple of seconds later, has the afm plug disconnected.
RX start up not using the afm in any way. They use a internal ECU start fuel map. After the engine reaches 500rpm the ECU starts using the afm for fuel.
Sorta what is happening to you. Try leaving that TPS plug off when you start the next time and see what happens. If it still won't stay running, go to the wiring diagrams and look at where they show the wires in the afm plug. They show that at the side of the plug where the wires enter the plug. Compare that to your afm plugs wires.
Or try jumpering that yellow, two socket fuel pump check connector and then try starting. That'll assure you the pump will keep running.

i tryed this and it didnt work. i tested the afm and it was reading 3.70 vdc. what i did try was leaving everything hooked up and when the car finally started and it ran for a few more seconds longer than normal but it still died. but i think thats because of ideal problems from bac and cold start delete. could this add to the problem ?
