(Correct me if I get any of this wrong)
I talked to him earlier and it runs for about a minute then shuts off. It idles at about 1500rpm roughly, and then no matter what (hitting the gas, not, etc.) it just dies after a while. Every vacuum leak I've ever had it's possible to keep the car running by hitting the gas (including when I left the BAC hose off so there was a HUGE amount of unmetered air going into the engine [granted it would only run at over 5k rpm, but it started and did run]).
AFM usually does cause that problem. I'm not sure if it's for a minute and a half though. Maybe at the most 30 seconds with Cold Start Assist still intact. I'd suggest setting the TPS as well as the bleed screw up top. Beyond that I would check the condition of the injectors, insuring that they're running correctly and firing and not seized.
