Cranks but dies immediately
I recently refurbed a used engine and installed it over the past two months.
Fought with some issues at installation and after, and now I’m at a point to start the car.
Currently the car turns over during cranking and dies immediately after firing.
see vid for example:
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated

You should post the error codes. I would perform the immobilizer matching/calibrating first. Then crank case position sensor change. After that maybe starter or fuel pump. And check your timing!

I figured it out, it was unmetered air coming into the engine.
Thankfully my timing seems to be fine as the engine runs and does not set any timing codes.
EWS immobilizer doesnt come into play as it wouldnt fire if that code were set in the CAS.
