Rebuild starts then dies after like 3 seconds...
I got it started, after many times of hitting a problem, fixing it and moving on, i had it running for about 3 seconds, then it died. I have fuel, im pretty sure i have spark, although i don't know how powerful

- yes it is ported, didnt check the timing...will do that
-not a vac leak, removed rats nest, only 4 vac lines left and theyre all brand new and connected
-last time i did that the safc and evc didnt come on but when the key is on the gauges lit up automatically...i dont know why but i dont wanna do it again...i'm getting a ton of fuel anyways
-fuel lines WERE backwards, i fixed them...theyre good now

Recently on my engine install it wouldn't start because the fuel lines were backwards thanks to the picture in the manual being wrong, then when it did start it did the same thing as yours, run for a few seconds then die no matter how much throttle I gave it, we re-stabbed the CAS and that fixed it.

Does it run at higher RPM's?
Sometimes you just need to bump up the idle just to get it stable.
Nevermind getting the timing nailed right now - if it crank and starts, that's a very good start.
