By jumpering you mean....

Maybe I missed something... what are you attempting to do by jumpering those two particular wires together?
The only thing I can recall that requires jumpering is to set your timing or idle... and I'm pretty sure it's not the Fuel Pump. I've been wrong before.
Check here for all the directions on timing/idle stuff: http://www.miata.net/garage/ignition.html
Standard practice is to use a paper clip... it's tough to jam a wire into the connector.

His question will make a lot more sense if you read the other two threads on the same thing.

cmr991, just stick a paper clip into the diagnosis box connecting FP to GND. This forces the fuel pump to stay on whenever the key is in the run position. The AFM has a switch in it that normally keeps the fuel pump turned on whenever the engine is running. If you have damaged that switch or the wiring to it, the car will do what yours is doing, start and then quickly die. If the car idles like normal after jumpering the connectors, your problem lies with the AFM or wiring to it.
Also, you can just ask these extra questions about the AFM and Jumpering in the original thread. The questions make a lot more sense when you can read the background behind them.
