Default car starts for 2 seconds then dies (HELP!!)

fully built d16 turbo, running with hondata s300.

the car fires RIGHT up, just like normal, but if then dies after 2-3 seconds, if i hit the throttle it dies instantly.

drove the car home last night and it was running perfectly, nothing wrong whatsoever. woke up and it was doing this.

i know its a fuel issue but what? new fuel pump, rc550's, new fuel filter, aem fpr... which one is screwing me in the butt?

check your fuel pump. this happened to me about 3 days after installing my walbro.

The small 2" rubber hose blew a hole in the side like a bombed beached whale. I replaced it with the OEM one. Goodluck.
