Okay so yesterday i finished getting my car put together and got it to start no prob except it wouldnt idle. now it wont start without throttle being applied and then it just dies after 5 seconds, the exhaust it is putting out while it runs smell like gass so i unhooked my pump and the 40A fuse and cranked it for a while to no avail. It's driving me nuts trying to figure this out. i have gone over it and cannot find a single vac leak and am out of ideas.

You could have a Vacuum leak..or the AFM not plugged in..or the Fuel regulator is not getting vacuum...lots of stuff IT can be doing.
Please explain what you have in the engine bay,what you did to the car in detail.
Are you running the TII Ecu on an N/A harness..etc,etc.

Just the basics and a ps pump. dropped it in hooked it up and now just trying to get it to run. fuel reg is getting vac its hooked to the same source my boost gauge it has no emissions or omp and is running premix. it keeps back firing, and there is gas dripping out of my dp. it has 0 miles on it, it is a fresh rebuild. like i said it will run with the tb open but then after five seconds it still dies sometimes it sputters out and others it just shuts down.

Jumper the fuel check connector and try starting the car once more.

Is the afm working properly? Is it in time?

check if fuel injectors r spraying. did you rebuilded this motor? also check if the injector connectors are in good shape, no broken tabs, loose pins, switched connectors or exposed wires as this will not give full voltage to the injectors to spray correctly. this has happened to me, i have had the same symptoms you had, i replaced the connectors and it fired right up.

if you dumped premix into the tank without adding fuel on top it could be concentrated at the pump pickup. the engine won't run on oil.

The afm has no effect for the motor to start.

And both my afm and my ecu are fine and timeing is spot on. I don't even have the cover on my cas.

There's a small yellow plug encased in a rubber boot near the harness which runs by the passenger fender. Same harness which connects to the Boost/Pressure sensor. Yellow plug has two wires where one is Black and the other Brown.

What do I do with it?

W/the jumper in place turn key to on to see if the fuel pump is working. If so, then try to start the car w/the jumper in place.

I know im getting fuel.

You had stated that the car died after running for five seconds. The car does not need the AfM to "start" the car but it does to run the car. There is an aspect of the AFM, that if not functioning properly, would cause the car to die immediately after starting and is fuel related. Jumpering the fuel check connector would tell you whether this aspect of the AFM is at fault or not.
