Default Car will not Run

I have put an In tank fuel pump in and for some reason my car will not stay running. It will start and die after like 10-15 seconds. If I touch the gas it will die immediatly. I have checked everything from the hoses to the connections the pump runs and stays running the hole time until the car dies then it stays on for about 3 secs more.

i put in a 255 lph walbro pump. Do I need tunning for it to run right.

Thanks a lot man I am supposed to take m car up to mc racing tomorrow to get it tunned but if I can not get my car started that would pretty much x that out of the equation.

Like I said everything is hooked up correctly but let me make sure with all of you.

the Possitive line....(the Grey line) would hook to the red line that comes with the kit. The black like (the ground) would hook up to the black line that comes with the kit.

There are 4 steel lines on top of the tank 2 vent like lines I guess that is what they look like since the dont really connect to any thing. the bigger steel line is the feed hose which goes to the pump. the littler one is the return hose which just dumps fuel back into the tank. there is not a whole lot more that I can tell you other then all hoses have been clamped with fuel injection clamps and the are as tight as they can get. They can not spin on the steel lines and nothing is leaking any where.

If this is not a faulty pump I am very very confused I have done nothing wrong. Does anyone know the guy at NEW ERA PERFORMANCE. He Still will not return my e-mail. I know that he has been advertising these pumps on the boards so just remember that if there is something wrong he is not very understanding.
