YESSSS I FIXED IT, soo I took out the whole fuel assembly right after I turned off the car, checked the fuel assembly and noticed one of the fuel pump hoses had a small hole in it, right after I replaces the hose I primed it and it turned on normal, then I let it sit for 30+ mins and tried to start it with out primeing it and it started normal
