S4 GXL with T2 swap catches but doesn't start

Hey guys having an issue with my s4 t2 swapped rx7 and am at a total loss for trouble shooting, parked the car and now it wont start (not flooded) changed plugs and did the de- flood procedure just to make sure. Car will crank for a bit and then catch and die right away throttle doesn't do anything i was able to get the car running when i held the afm flapper fully open but it doesnt start the car when i tried doing it again. i checked for vac leaks with smoke and couldn't find any and on further inspection it seems like the yellow fuel pump tester plug on the passenger strut tower has been jumped which i think is what my fuel pump switch in the car is wired too. Car has added grounds and most of the others have been cleaned so i think thats not apart of the problem. Car is is a s4 with a s5 swap running s4 electronics and turbo but has a na afm ( looking at getting this replaced with a proper T2 one but until prior was fine didnt have a issue with starting until now). any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks for reading.

The problem is with the AFM you need the corresponding AFM with that motor. In my opinion you should just spend your money wisely and go standalone there is a lot of the stock things you can eliminate which causes weird problems like this.
