Subaru Conversion Won't Idle Options

[turnaround89]

Hi everyone, so December 2018 was the first time I got to hear the WRX STi motor I purchased run. It ran rough because the intake wasn't connected, hardly any sensors hooked up, etc. However, it ran and that made me happy knowing my investment wasn't useless.

The engine that was purchased is supposed to be a subaru wrx gc8 sti v4 turbo ej20

Cut to a few months later, now I have all the required sensors (MAF, purge solenoid, ignitor, etc) that I was missing purchased and hooked up. Vacuum hoses hooked up and I thought now the engine should run and idle beautifully. Nope, it will fire and run for maybe 3 seconds then shut off. Check out the video in the link.

The only thing I dont have hooked up are to the non-pressure side of the intake. I tried plugging these holes today and the car did t idle any better. Now, I need to find a permanent solution to these holes, but I swear the engine is running worse now with everything hooked up then in December with nothing hooked up.

Any ideas where I could start?

I was thinking fuel pressure and timing would be my next step. In the video you can hear the fuel pump prime the system before the engine kicks over.

The wiring harness was sent out to iwire services to be redone and that appears to be functioning properly.

Thank you everyone for your help.

One of my concerns was if I got the correct MAF sensor. I did as much researching as possible and believe I purchased the correct one for this particular engine. The MAF is installed correctly as the flow arrow is pointing into the intake and its bracket only allows for a one way install. I'll double check part numbers again to be sure U purchased the correct one. It is a jdm engine, if that helps at all.

For the blow off valve, does this have to route back to the non-pressure side of the intake? Or could I route it to atmosphere and plug the hole in the intake?

One item I know the engine does not have is the PCV hoses. The engine simply has filters on the breather ports. Normally these would feed back into the engine. Is this absolutely necessary for the engine to operate properly?

Keep the ideas coming, thank you everyone
