94 FD New Build Issues HELP PLEASE (Wont Idle)

Okay, my car is all together...yay.

I got it to turn over a few times it rapped out to 4k (on its own i wasnt on the throttle) and sat there for 5 seconds then i shut it down. tried it 3 times...

knoticed, the intake air temp wasnt plugged in (plugged on the bottom of the uim) I accidently cut it outa the harness... once that was tied back in...

next problem came....

Now I feel like it isnt getting any fuel... it will run on starting fluid for a moment then shut back down... if the fluid is purged it will continue to run (this is only after we plugged in the sensor on the bottom of the uim)

Things I can point out are
- wierd noise buzzing under uim after starts and then shuts down... goes away when key is off
- No FPR.... would that cause no fuel at all ? I am ordering one any suggestions. I have 1680cc injectors on a rx7store secondary fuel rail.
- no leaks... that i see.
- Vacuum could be wrong but would that cause it to not even idle at all.
- HELP. my FD has been down for almost 3 years... i want my baby back

vacuum leak would be my first guess, and yes, it can cause it not to idle.

Um, installing a Fuel Pressure Regulator would be a pretty good idea.

Wow, no FPR, are you sure you know what your doing. Aeromotive FPR make sure they have a vacumn port for boost.
