Default Problems starting- HELP!!!!

I have a 1990 acura legend, 2.7, v6
There was a hole in the fuel line that rusted open and the car was spouting gas outta the open line- now that i have patched the hole in the line by replacing the rusted chunk with rubber hose, the car will not start- i have gas all the way to the motor, i have checked several times- and i know the fuel pump is working- could there be air in the fuel rails or something preventing the car from strting???

Are you getting spark? Did the car run before you patched that line?

this is what you do

to make sure all the bubbles are out

turn car on and off about 10 times (turn on until you hear the pump go buurr and stop and then turn car off, repeat 9 more times.

if you do not hear the fuel pump, check main relay (boy were those a giant pos) you can repair them by resoldering all the joints on the PCB.
