Problem.. fuel pump got quieter, and car dies..?

Well I just got my car started with the E6K. Beside the fact that the car idles around 1200rpm @ -17psi vaccum it ran rich at low RPms and pretty decent at boost.

After driving a few times around the block I got back and decided to hook up the laptop back to the ECU to see my Temps. As i was waiting for the Laptop to boot up, the idle dropped and then the car died.

I tried to start the car. The first couple times it sounded like it was flooded, then after that it was nothing. At this time i noticed that my walbro pump wasnt priming as loud as it did before. After check the voltage(11.91vdc), i decided to pull the pump out and test it. It seem to work fine, so i put it back.

then i try starting the car, it fires up. idles @ 1200, for about 10sec. then the Rpm drops to 500, motor shakes, some black water comes out as i try to give it gas, then the car dies.

Prior to starting the car I prob. primed the fuel over a dozen times checking for leaks, setting timing, etc, with the Haltech. Everytime it was loud, witha faucet like sound. Now the sound is very muffled and soft, sounds like it's not getting good voltage , although it is.? waht could it be?

thanks!

Prob solved...Turns out that i was really low on gas . I guess my send unit was stuck so it read that I have gas, but actually the pickup was starved.

Weird part is i filled almost 2 gallons the night before. I wouldn't think driving around the neighborhood would killed that much gas? Must have burned it at idle , need to turn it down some how, also the 820cc primerys need tunning .. oh well so far so good..
