Default Fuel Pump Racetronix Issue

UPDATE 2: Clean injectors and car doesn't misfire anymore runs well just the problem of cranking it twice is what concerns me

UPDATE: Didn't state this but when I installed the pump I didn't changed the sock in the bucket only the one for the pump that comes with the racetronix kit, and I also have a brand new fuel filter and tank is full of gas






Ok here is the story

I ran out of gas on my 01 z28 Friday afternoon, put some gas in it it started right up and it drove find for an hour or so, after that my car seemed to loose power and SES light started blinking which means a misfire,


Went to autozone and got a code for a misfire on cylinder 7, took the car to my auto class at my local community college and I changed the fuel pump for a racetronix pump and hooked everything up, i primed the pump several times and it started right up and seemed to work fine.

Im still having the issues with the misfire and seems in the morning my car has to be cranked at least twice to work, so is this normal for a racetronix pump, seems I have to prime it at least twice??

Here is a video really rough idle

if it was missing before the pump and it is still missing after the pump then the pump is not the problem as far as the priming issue that does sound like the pump

A misfire can be many things, but you should start with new spark plugs/wires/Ignition coil then the injector

do you have to put new o rings when you take out the fuel rail and put it back in?
