Recheck fuel pump install.
Is walbro pump new?
Is fuel filter new?

i doubt it, i never touched the ones on the filter. i jacked up the car from the front cause i read in a post that the pupm was short and it wasnt getting enough fuel. after jacking it and trying i got 45 psi but still wouldnt turn on. so i released the presure from the filter bolt and only air came out, i repeated this till gas came out and the the car started. as long as it was elevated from the fron it stayed on but as soon as i dropped it it started dying. so i ma lower the pump a bit. thanks for your help.

just like mine before. My problem that I dont close tight the cover under passenger seats (if u ever open it) or u can check again the cover by the fuel pump. Tight not necesarily tight tight, make sure it's vacuum. Check if the rush sucking of air when u open the gas tank after the engine run.

all hose clamps on the pump good and tight? i had a fuel pump replaced at a shop once. they forgot to put a hose clamp back on the sending unit right above the pump. car would die after half tank cause after the fuel went down past that hose it was sucking air instead
