need some help w/starting car!

So i installed the cleaned fuel injectors and put my car together
I turn on the ignition and the car started in about 5 seconds and idled really smoothly for about 10 seconds and it died. So I'm pretty sure it's not flooding problem, so I probably done something wrong w/the vaccuum hoses. Also, for this one connection, I used a vinyl tubing hose because i ran out of vaccum hoses. Could this be the reason for stalling out?

Where is this vinyl hose at, and can you see it collapsing in on itself under vac?

Jumper the yellow connector and try it again, to see if you have a bad AFM door switch...After you answer the vinyl hose question, lol...

i can't see it because of the intercooler and the dynamic chamber
i'll try to take some pics tomorrow or maybe a video
but it's connecting the plastic piece that takes one nipple and splits it into 4 and the other end is connected to the 2nd from botton (i think) facing the driver's side on the intake manifold top piece
Do you think that vinyl can take the heat of the engine?
what if some hot coolant spills on it?

also, the diameter of the hose and the nipple is bigger than the other vaccuum hoses is that helps

That's for your oil metering nozzles, I don't think it sees much vac, and I doubt that's the problem with the car shutting down. It probably won't take the heat, though...
