Default Fuel HELP!

I disconnect the fuel lines on my car, hooked them up and now I'm not getting any fuel to the rail really.

If I hold the shrader valve in I'll get just a couple drops out. I have to hold the valve open to get the car to start and even then it'll only stay on for a few seconds.

What did I mess up? Can I hot wire the pump on to see if that is the issue?

This is going to sound stupid, but have you tried reversing the fuel lines where you connected them? Is it possible you swapped EVAP for FEED? How's the fuel filter?

Why did you disconnect the lines? Fuel pump swap? Fuel rail swap?

I pulled the fuel lines off to drop in a set of headers more easily. I don't think I reversed them but I'll double check. I'll have to check the fuel filter. What is the easiest way to diagnose the fuel system?

Ended up being the fuel pump. On a 1998 the black is the ground the grey is the positive for the pump. So if you want to hard wire it on or trip the pump on use those lines.
