Default OH SH**T!! I NEED SOME HELP!!!!

ISSUE 1
Ever since I installed my inline fuel pump after fuel filter before rail, there's times when it won't start. I'll **** there and turn the key and it won't start AT ALL for about 5 min. I'll stop wait a minute and then it starts but out of the exhaust there's a very strong fuelk fume that comes out. I'm thinking that the inline is causing the engine to drown in fuel, kinda like when carbs used to get overflowed in fuel.
How do I avoid this. (inkine is just hooked up to ign, not a relay)
ISSUE 2
Whenever I am driving along and just feel the need to floor it the engine slips the boost gauge goes crazy up so do the RPMS, what causes this? today for a change when this happened the enginde completey stopped I was like WTF it felt similar to when you drive and automatic manually shifted and accidentaly goes into R and it just stops but without turning off.What's causing this??? old clutch??? need better traction to avoid slippage???
I need some suggestions, help... thanks

I had this issue are you using an FMU? Hook up a fuel pressure gauge to find out if the FMU is sticking, it will definitely cause that since you can now provide high pressure's with your pump.

are you priming the pump before cranking the engine? Let the key sit in the on position for a few seconds before you try to crank it over.

That is not how the fuel system works.

Update on this...it may not even be the pump or fmu at all. I think my ignition box is going out on me. How do I know if it's going out?...

Dustin, how does the fuel system work then?...
