you arent getting sufficient air into the engine to let it idle correctly. more than likely your idle isnt set properly, but to see if its something to do with what i mentioned, crack your throttle open while you start it. search how to set idle properly, thatll help a lot too..

also, check your maf wiring and maf itself, that was my issue (had interference on maf signal) unplug maf and see if it starts. if it does, you have a bad maf or bad maf wiring. there you go. good luck!

I know this sounds dumb but make sure your fuel lines are connected correctly. I don't know about the 20 setup, but when I did my swap a few years ago I had the fuel lines reversed. A few other people have done the same thing.
