Default ef hatch b20v starts but wont stay running

i have a 91 hatch with a b20vtec swap i dropped the engine in and everything works but when i start it, it will start if i hold the gas in but it wont stay running . if i keep feathering the throttle it will stay running but it will sound like its misfiring or kind of like a subie . once i let go of the pedal it shuts completely off . im thinking it might be fuel related , maybe my AEM fpr?

91 hatch
b20z2 block
b16a2 pr3-3 head
ys1 cable trans
chipped p28 b20v map
obd0-obd1 ecu jumper harness
obd0 b16 dizzy
dpfi engine harness converted to mpfi
AEM adjustable fpr
obd0 injectors with resistor box

ive checked the wiring and everything is good i i have plenty of spark , fuel to the rail, compression is good, injector pulse good, timing is good ,

trying to see if anyone has came across this problem

any info and help is appreciated

you need an OBD1 distributor - OBD0 won't work with OBD1 ECU
