repairs & mods, now won't run

Boy do I feel stupid. 130k mile car that ran good except for leaking injectors. took them out and had RC do their thing to them. installed RB turbo back system while the car was down. ported the waste gate. installed egt and boost gauge along with Banzai TID. also installed HKS pfc f-con. then replaced every hose on the motor (yes quite expensive)!!!!!! removed the air pump also

I'm not a rotary expert but comfortable with my mechanical ability.

The car start occasionally but stalls immediately. any ideas????

I've checked the obvious things IE:fuel, spark, etc... reconnected the fuel pump connection in rear shock tower also

thanks

Check your AFM to see if it is loose or not plugged in.

You would need a pretty big vac leak for this to happen. Not just one 1/8" hose. Something like the EGR valve or Air Bypass lines would cause a big enough leak.

Or the AFM isn't plugged in.

And it's possible to get the AFM plug upside down.
