FL Swap is in but won't stay running

Hey,

I have a 1988 Convertible and I am trying to do a TurboII swap (motor is from an 87-88) I am having an issue with getting my car to stay running. It seems to be getting fuel to the fuel rail but I'm not getting a pulse from any of the injectors. We tested each injector and they seem to work. I have already installed a new harness, fuel pump, and I have both a N332 and a N338 ecu's. I've tried them both.

I have a friend with a N338 that I'm borrowing to test and the only other thing I can think of is something with the wiring. Has anyone had this issue? Please help me.

How long does the car stay running? How would the car start if the injectors were not able to pulse?

also make sure the throttlebody is not closed. They do close. Make sure the throttle cable has no Slack. make sure TPS is hooked up. check idle control screw. Sometimes 7s are not tuned right where the throttle cable is tight enough to keep the car running. and not the idle screw. timing and tps is critical for good start. and the UIM has a air hose that runs from the maf intake to the other side of the UIM. If that is not plugged in wont run correctly if at all.
