Default Running problems

I have just dropped a turbo lump in my se 500 escort. The car starts fine but will not continue running its dies after about 3 seconds. Does anyone know what this could be?

I'm not familiar with this set up sorry.
It should be obvious what the sensors do by looking at them, maybe look up the sensor in the wiring diagram, then you will have the wire colour to each to get them right.
