Put a pressure gauge on it and tell us the key on running and bleed off. Pull the vacuum line off your fpr and smell for fuel. And in your oil.

What made you replace the fuel pump to begin with. Did you diagnose it, what were the symptoms the pump was bad?

Is the gas smell burnt gas from the exhaust or raw gas?

did you change the fuel filter as well?
agree with the others to check your pressure at the rail

Do you know how to scan for codes? If you don't, here's how- put a paper clip in pins A&G in the obd1 port. Report back if you have any.
