installed new fuel pump car wont start

i installed my new supra pump today and got in to start the car. turned the key i heard the fuel pump whine in the back thought that was a good sign. then turned the key but the car wouldnt start. it tries to start but it just seems like the engine isnt getting any fuel. any ideas please let me know. thanks

how did you connect the pumps to the fuel lines? autozone hose clamp? theres a chance the connection there wont hold the 40 or whatever psi, and its just leaking pressure.
