Question:  What would make a rotary start right up, and then shut down
[probably from fuel starvation] within 5 seconds or so?

The vehicle is an '84 RX-7 with a 13B.  I bought it as a project, the car
having had a small engine fire.  I've done all of the wiring and hose work,
and started it up to see what I got.

Turned the key, and it fired right up and revved to about 3000 rpm, and
promptly shut down.  Turn the key, and the same thing happens over and over
again.

I assume that something electrical- or vacuum-controlled is not set
properly, but I don't know what.

Any ideas??
