Default Need help with Ls2 in 01 SS (starting issues)

Got my Ls2 driopped into my 01 Camaro SS. Problem is it won't stay running, Car turns over and with a little spray of starter fluid it will start but after a few seconds cuts off. The fuel pump is ok, drained fuel and added new fuel still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanx

Did you switch the two outer wires on the plug that runs to the cam sensor?

Test the injectors with a test light. Are they getting power?

turn off VATS in the ECU; send it to a tuner or use HPTuners/EFI Live

What about fuses or relays? How did you check the injectors to see if they were working?
