The AFM only comes into play after 500 rpm. As such, why would it run perfectly fine for about a minute and then die no matter what's going on? That doesn't indicate a vacuum leak to me. Granted, it would if you could keep it running after that point by keeping the idle up. However, in this case, (from the info I was given and my understanding of the issue), engine speed does not change the fact that it shuts off.
The injector thought could be plausible. It was in a field before he bought it and he's been working on getting the bad gas out. However, again, why does it shut off no matter what?
This is all based on the assumption that I understand the problem correct from a 5 minute phone call.
