Vaccume hose, or something unplugged, try disconnecting the 02 sensors and fire it up, it it idles you probably need a tune, the RPM is the most aggresive of the bunch I believe. Correct me if im wrong. But even with a vac. leak it should still try to idle...maybe you forgot to plug in something or you installed the dizzy a tooth off??

Unplug the o2's, you might need to have it tuned because of the AF change...Everything becomes sensitive at this stage of the modding process

make sure you didn't stab it wrong. Take it out, turn the engine over by hand til it's at tdc on the compression stroke. Put your finger over the spark plug hole and you should feel a lot of air rushing past your finger. Wait til it gets to the point where you don't feel anymore air coming out then look at the balancer. Line it up on "0"
After that put the dizzy in with the rotor pointing at number 1 on the dizzy cap (the rotor should be pointing towards the intake manifold).
Mark the position of the #1 terminal onto the bowl with a marker or something. When you stab the dizzy the rotor should be pointing to this mark. This is your dizzy set at 0*

When it shuts off but before you touch the key, do you hear anything whirring? If not, you might have lost VPWR. => Check that you reconnected the CCRM connector tightly.
IF everything is ok except you lose spark while running (but not cranking), check the run terminal on the TFI module. There's one terminal for cranking and one for running. If the latter is an open circuit, you lose spark once you release the key from cranking to running.
Good luck.

try disconnecting you're battery for 30 minutes before turning it on, it might just need to re-set the computer.

Hey guys, I haven't touched the car till this morning since I have been busy with work. I checked the ccrm this morning and it looks good. Also checked the bolts and their nice and tight. Here's what the car is doing: when it starts, it makes a whining noise and wants to shut off. It will stay on if I give it gas but once I let go of it, it will struggle and die on its own. What else can I check? Vaccum hoses look good as well too
