Default opti or sensor or fuelpump

I just installed a walboro fuel pump and dont know if it can be the cause of my problem that i have been having. It seems to be like the car takes about 5 seconds to start when it cold but when it warmed up and u try to start it again it fires up instantly. But thats not all my problems the next thing is that when i drive the car for a bout 15-20 minutes it sputters like if there is no gas and shuts of and like 20 minutes later it fires up good and u can drive it again. I also get a shake like a miss I have not did a tuneup since i have had the car and that is about 2 years 15,000 miles give or take. I wanted to do that but was thinking about changing the opti at the same time but dont want to spend the money if i dont have to so if there is a way to test the opti to see if it is working correctly let me know.

Did it start after the install? Did it happen at all before the install?

You may have a gas tank vent problem that has now manifested itself due to the increased flow from the Walbro. Try to loosen the gas tank cap and see if the problem reappears.

Another thing i noticed is that there is a strong gas smell that can be smelt inside the car and when you are outside the car it is really strong. I Didnt have the problem with the startup issue but had the sputering issue before that .
