wont stay running

I have a 91 crx it sat up since may and I just put a d15b vtec in this past weekend. I sat the engine in and hooked up all appropriate connectors with the exception of two wires that is close to the intake manifold (yellow w/ green and a black) I have no clue where they go all i know is if you connect the wires together the main relay closes. But when I go to start the car you can hear the fuel pump kick in, the cel comes on for approx 2 sec then secures. The engine turns over and attempts to start and will fire for about 3-5 sec then stops firing and back to turning over. I replaced the spark plugs/wires, checked dist, replaced the map sensor and idle control valve. Im stumped can someone help

You have a problem with your ECM or main relay. Read Sections A and B in the link below:

Run the K-Test on your ECM and let me know what voltage you record at the MAP sensor connector.

Why don't we begin by you giving me the results of the K-Test and the 3 diagnostic questions? Then, we can go from there.

5.4volts
the check engine light come on and then off after 2-3 seconds
you can hear the main relay click
you can hear the fuel pump prime
The two wires were for the thermostat sensor

Definitely no problem with the ECM or main relay.

Since you figured out where the two wires go, are you still having the problem with the car staying running?
