Default Car dies

Hey guys....Putting a LS1 into a RX7. Still in mock up stage, but had to hear it run. The motor starts runs ten seconds or less and dies, have not done any diag yet I figured I would ask to see if it is a common problem that anyone has had. We have the fuel pump hard wired so it runs with the key in the ignition position. Thanks

No, I thought that then I was not sure what effect it would have, I thought it either caused a no crank (it cranks), or it caused the fuel pump to shut off after it started....(thus the hard wired pump). I will search for Vats. thanks for the tip!!!

VATS kills the injectors not the fuel pump.
