Default WOOHOO it starts!, 5.3 in 99 wrangler

it starts up, but it only runs for about a sec, about as long as it takes me to let off the crank position. then it dies. but its damn close to running, i had to clean my injectors out last night, 6 out of 8 were still stuck after soaking them in seafoam.

any suggestions on what to look for, it throws a couple egr codes but that is all,

did you disable the VATS? sounds like the security system is shutting it down. does it make good vacuum?

It is a classic symptom of the VATS. I would see if it is disabled.

Guess you decided not to come over for a tune. When you get your mail order PCM back, drive it over and I'll show you what you got for your $.
Probably not much.

Yeah, your R for race should be after neutral. You might want to fix that. If you let someone else drive it , they won't find the race gear!
