Default Escort rs turbo wont tick over, any ideas?

Right just put my zvh engine back together started it up and was fine left it idle for 20 min then went for about a 10 mile drive, when I got back the car wouldnt tick over, left it till next day went too it when engine was cold and is the same just keeps turning over and fireing but wont run at all now unless I touch the throttle


Any ideas?? , its goin for a set up on mon the 11th but would be nice if I could get it run on its own
