6 Speed Swap - Car Doesn't Stay Running

Almost finished with a 6 speed swap. Car cranks over and starts for a few seconds but then it shuts off. Doesn't stay running. Can't pinpoint where the issue is. I have both the auto and manual ECU's. Both sets of keys have been reprogrammed accordingly to the manual ECU. P/N switch has been bypassed already.

My friend did the reprogram for the keys. Not sure what he used but is it more appropriate to take it to the dealer and have them reprogram it using the proper computer/software?

Not too in-tuned with Maxima swaps but if someone can throw out ideas and what to look for, I appreciate it!

1. make sure al urplugs are plugged in? i no i have missed one by mistake. checkur mass air sensor pug i no thats a one wll shut it off.

and number 2 is did u sand down the mating surfaces b4 puttin the tranny in. i no these cars have grounding problems. i did a 5speed swap on my car and i had to drop the tranny to sand them down cause the grouning problem. there is grounding kits witch i would try b4 droppng the tranny again. but if that is the problem DROP THE TRANNY AND SAND IT DOWN. do it the right way instead of half ***. i dropped th tranny in the cold to fix it. dont want more probelms. ill keep thinking and ill check back later to see how u made out. like i said check ur plugs and then shoot for grounds if u didnt sand it down(witch is ****VERY IMPORTANT**** )

GOOD LUCK
