You connected the lines back up right? Crack open the fitting at the fuel filter and see what comes out

BTW I took off the neg side of the battery while working on the pump
There is nothing to reset. BTW, did you change the fuel pump gasket when you put it back in? I got the Racetronix system which had the pump. It has everything you got from ebay and the gasket and the bolts to reinstall. Bolts were stainless steel

No sir I used the same gasket and tightend the bolts down good, but still I wouldn't think that would cause the car to run and then stop, or would it??

When you have sex, do you save your condom for the next time? If not, why would you reuse the paper gasket? It is a bad habit you should break. I mentioned it because the kit is pretty complete and I am not sure how good this.

I've heard of Bosch, Walbro, Aeromotive and a couple others. Not sure how good Kemso is other than the low price. When it is so cheap, I tend to be a skeptic. Still, I think it is highly unlikely that both the OE pump and the new one would exhibit the same problem.

That said, I don't want a leak especially with fuel.
