Re: Car starts and then slowly dies.
I dont think its the MAP I checked my Helm (for B18C1...same thing) and if there's no CEL for it...they say it can be intermittent and/or wiring issue
This might not be it but maybe main relay???
What about you had a bad dizzy and now have a wrong dizzy?
Seems really weird if its 2 bad engine harnesses.
FITV and IACV were checked/cleaned?
Did you ever get the alternator checked out?

I've checked main relay, and my new dizzy is from a gsr. I don't think it's the harness anymore. I haven't checked the IACV. The throttle body I have isn't fast idle. But I am about to swap it with one that is. Alternator ended up being fine as well.

Re: Car starts and then slowly dies.
UPDATE.
So I started the car today, and it ran for about 9 mins. Just as it started burning oil from around the exhaust manifold, is when is started dying. Any thoughts?

Piston rings not seated correctly? Didn't you say it was a fresh re-build? If you are burning oil out the cylinder then I say its your rings. Were they clocked correctly when installed? This may be internal. What about silly stuff like timing belt off at tooth??

Re: Car starts and then slowly dies.
I'm honestly starting to think it's the rings. I clocked them according to the helms. But as I research everyone says 180 degrees apart.

Re: Car starts and then slowly dies.
Did you make sure to not put them on a load axis? 180 is right (from what I know) but at 2pm and 7pm (in terms of a clocks time)
