HELP New engine setup= No fuel
I just setup my new s5 TII engine into my s4 NA. I'm running it NA and have all the tubbing and blocks offs all good. I tried starting her up and I am not getting fuel. I checked for spark and its there. Just no fuel. With the fuel line disconnected the fuel only comes gushing out when I crank the car, nothing happends in the on position.
Can someone please help me figure out what it might be thats causing me to not get fuel into the engine?

BTW, im using s4 ecu and wiring harness... I also had to cut the wires and lengten them for the MAF. There were 3 black wires exactly the same looking, i thought they are all grounds so i just connected them to any other black wire.

The AFM (air flow meter, mot MAF) has a circuit that allows power to go to the fuel pump when the ECU reads that the AFM flapper door is open. If you connected the wrong wires, this circuit won't give the pump power.

as posted above the fuel pump won't be on if the AFM is wired wrong... it'll turn on while cranking. but turn off as soon as the key is turned back to "ON"
ground the fuel pump connecter at the pass shock tower. this bypasses the AFM switch and the pump will always run when the key is "on"
this is a temp solution. don't drive the car like this. if it runs with it jumped. take out jumper and fix the AFM wiring.

check the fuel lines and fuel filter. there could be a kink in your fuel line under the drivers side of the car. and of course you could have water in your fuel filter.

"I disconnted the RETURN fuel line and got fuel out of it when cranking" if the line was kinked or I had water or whatever in the filter it would not go all the way around through the fuel rail and back into the tank like its doing.
Like I said its something with the injection system, they arent spraying for some reason. Any one have ideas or ways of checking them?
