Wont stay on

Well...I finally got everything hooked up. Went to start it up. Started up right away no problem...but after ruffly 10seconds she just dies....cant keep it running at all. I am possiably thinking intake leak somewhere. My dad thinks i am only running on 1 injector. What kind of symptons would I be seeing if it was just running on 1 injector? We fed it some carb cleaner through a vac line and it seemed like it ran better but not really...just died then also.

Are there ways to check to see if I am only running 1 injector without having to rip everything off again?

if only one injector were working, the engine would be shaking violently (especially at low rpm's), and you'd have to keep your foot on the gas to keep it running...however, it will rev all the way to 7,000 if you give it enough gas... edit: if it started right up, then both injectors are probably working- it's a bitch to start it with only one injector...

If the vac leak is big enough it will die, Check your AFM.
