Hi, I am the proud owner of a 1986 GXL 6 port rx7. Currently I am having problems getting the car started and then keeping it running.The following items are new, fuel filter, fuel pump, spark plugs and some fuel lines.Gas is getting to the engine bay but does not seem to be getting to the injectors. sometimes the car will start and run for a short time , then just cut off like a switch was thrown. I figure it is the fuel regulator or a calapsted fuel hose under the intake.Has anyone had this problem before, suggestions would be welcomed. thank you

Test the AFM as per the FSM, and make sure that the AFM harness is in good shape (and plugged in!).

Check for huge vacuum leaks like a cracked intake pipe between the AFM and throttle body.
