Fuel Pump installed / What is priming the car?

[JDMHVN]

If you refer to one of my past threads http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=269842 about installing my new Walbro FP, somebody said I need to be sure to prime my car before I start it. I can figure what he's getting at, but I don't know what that means... If that makes any sense. Can somebody please let me know how to prime my car?

O, I also installed a new FPR with the FP if that means anything.

What he is saying is ( as I take it )
Get the air & general shit out of the fuel lines and filter so you don't risk running lean or starving the engine of fuel in the first few minutes of running.

Alright, gotcha there but consider me a little dense on this subject WTF . How should I get the air out of the lines. Should I turn the car on and off a bunch of times before I run it for good, or something like that?

Haha. When replacing the fuel pump, you don't have to worry about bleeding the air out of the fuel line. The time it takes for fuel to reach the engine from the pump is very quick, and you won't starve the engine.

Air in the fuel line isnt really a concern, I'd be more worried about other crap.
Disconnect the fuel filter feed line to the fuel rail, and turn the ignition on. This will flush the line.
