Default help needed

Ok guys, I am working on the final touches for the mazda in my sig... I have a slight issue though. I want to know since in turns over, fires up, starts to idle then dies every time if that sounds like Vats to you all? It is all out of a 93 camaro, so its a flippin chip. I have no way to check it out and see if it was tuned out ,as well as the emmisions stuff, like I was told when I bought the setup. I have checked all of my work and its the only thing I can think of that it can be. Any ideas or input into the situation is welcome.
Thanks all.

I thought vats would keep it from starting at all. Never heard of it killing a running car.
