No check engine light or anything? I started having issues because I routed the fuel pump harness incorrectly and the header burned the wire. Check all the wires and make sure all connectors are plugged in. You never know what you might have missed.

First of all I was joking and second of all you hardly give any information to help you with.

All I got was that you installed long tubes... and now you are having trouble starting your car. Not to sure what the relay has to do with any thing, but ok.

My best bet would be that your are throwing a code for your 02 sensors. You will need to upgrade to the vette 02's. I had to do the same thing, same problem.

ok thanks, and when I pull the relay it stops the fuel pump and it gets all the gas out of it, cause its flooded. The code that shows is the Ho2s wich is that its getting to much fuel getting it retuned next week. And sorry for being an ***. Thanks to everyone for the help.
