Unhappy Will not Run, need help!

Hey Guys, I really need some help. This is something different for you guys so ANY help is appreciated. I have a 13b-REW swapped into my 69' Chopped and Stretched VW Beetle. Has fuel, spark ( strong as hell ) will crank and start for maybe a second then dies. Ive deflooded it like 10 times, tried to pull start it, there is an issue somewhere. brand new MAP sensor, brand new power FC, power steering is removed, no OMP, no ac. brand new plugs. Im at a loss here. please help..

Sorry about the large pictures, i cannot figure out how to make them smaller

First off, that's a cool swap!

BIG one to start with - on the sensor check screen, PIM is showing reversed which means it isn't getting a signal from the MAP sensor. No MAP sensor, the car won't run for nothing, that's a primary input. It's something with the wiring to or from the MAP sensor.

There also appears to be something going on with the TPS values.

^Yep, I missed that, the reverse highlight means a wiring issue or it's not plugged in. TPS is another primary input.

Hey thanks for that info!! Got the MAP and TPS all sorted out today, now starts and i can keep it going but you can tell its not too happy, as soon as you let off the gas it dies. So tomorrow im going to adjust the screw on the back of the TB and make it idle super high and slowly bring it down. Is there anything else maybe i can try? this is my only idea so far and im just about out of ideas... Thanks A TON for the help, this is why i love this community.

What AFR's are you getting? Might be running too lean (or too rich). Also make sure TPS is calibrated correctly.
