background info:
i put 650cc injectors in two weeks ago and the car would usually take two cranks to get started. thinking that i needed more fuel i installed a 190 walbro. during install i snapped a hard fuel line. i drove the car with a 3/8 rubber hose over top. that leaked very badly but the car still drove (never went into boost) so i didn't care.. i bought a ss replacement from slowboy.


one day i drove to work, car drove fine. parked the car came back and tryed to start and the first time it started and then shut off immediately. then after that it would crank over but nothing else would happen.. i ended up installing ss line, and trying again. same thing happened. started then died, and then would only crank over. i ended up putting stock injectors in, putting a new ecu in, and new spark plugs gapped to .28.. nothing. if anything it sounds worse now. and i just checked the brand new plugs with 0 miles on them and they have a good amount of carbon on them. any ideas??

just went out and removed the fuel feed line.. i am not getting any fuel to the rail. i looked and saw that there is a fuel pump test connector located on the firewall behind that battery. well i found the blue engine speed tester but not the black one. any ideas?
 
and today after i put the new ecu in, i heard a clicking when i put it in the on position that i had never heard before. i also have a pump rewire done, but i checked the ground and the fuse in the relay and both look good.. any help would be appreciated because at this point i am stumped..
