Default Fuel Problem Need Help Asap

Ok Was Gonna Start My Car For The First Time I Ran Nasty Performance Fuel Line From Filter To Rails. With Quick Disconnect Fitting At Rail. When I Try To Start Car Does Not Run Turns Over But Thats It. And Fuel Spills Out The Quick Disconnect Fitting At Rail. It Is Not Getting Fuel I Tried Spraying A Bit Of Starting Fluid And Fired Right Up And Then Died. So Any Reason Why Disconnect Is Leaking?? Please Any Help Would Be Great...

Verify it is the correct size. Look at the part number / description on the package & measure the tube connection. Also look at the o-ring inside the quick connect & see if you nicked it.

It's probably trying to do idle learn... might have to give it a bit of gas to keep it running for the first 30 seconds or so

YES! You'll have to have it tuned out of the PCM, or bypass it.

Get rid of EGR and AIR (unless you really want them, and want to make the effort to keep them in your swap). Skip shift if it's an M6. Might wanna throw out all the EVAP stuff while you're at it. We had to do that on my buddy's 95 Z w/LS1.

That's all I can think of right now... but it seems like I'm forgetting something.

Nah... talking about another board member, but he's not very active (Blackesteyes8696). I can't remember exactly what we ended up doing with his EVAP system, I know it's hooked up, but I'm sure it'll end up needing tuned out. He hasn't gotten it tuned yet, so I'm not 100% sure. We used 98 fuel lines on his 95 tank... so we probably did it a bit differently.
