TII wont stay running
I got a 87 TII a year ago and had never worked on rotaries before. With what I know now I could have gotten it running like new without making it a huge project... however that was not the case and anyhow I ended up with a 91 TII motor and tranny to put in it... not the easiest option but its running now.
What I need help with is trouble shooting why it wont stay running. I have deleted the power steering, AC, Emissions nest, air pump, oil metering pump and oil injectors. I cut the injector wires and soldered in new round plugs for high imp injectors and took out the in line resistor for the old style injectors. I put a pipe in line with the upper radiator hose to hold the coolant sensor that the S4 metal water neck holds and they have all been replaced with new sensors. emptied the gas tank and put 5 gallons of mixed gas in, about 150:1 or so with the mix. I put it in a little rich with oil because I was unsure of how much gas was left after I drained the tank...
I might be forgetting something but any ideas on why it wont run longer than 15 seconds would be appreciated. Feel free to ask questions. The car starts right back up after it dies each time. After starting it 20 times or so because I thought maybe it needs to get fuel back into the system I tried revving it up, it got up to 7000 rpm then sputtered out again as before. Runs very smooth when it stays on... Any ideas??
Any and all help is appreciated.

Here is a vid of me trying to keep it alive as it just sputters out.
NEED HELP WITH:
Isn't that the idle air control valve? And where is the damn plug?? could not find it. Is there one of these on the S4?
Why does the E fan turn on with the key?
Can I put a catch can on these two lines? Or do I just use the bottom one and cap the top?
What could cause the car to die after a few seconds when it starts up every time?
