Default Pulled Fuel pump relay and car is still running FTL

I am in the process of installing a new FM dual feed fuel rail into my turbo 96. My car has an Xede with a BEGI S4 turbo kit on it. Well when I went to start the car tonight and pulled the yellow plug under dash as advised in the FM instructions to kill the car and the car kept running

The first time I did this it worked fine but now on the second try the car keeps running....

BEGI put in a 255hp Walbro which I fear could have killed the stock FPR, could that be the issue that is allowing it to start and idle with the plug pulled?

I nor Jeremy at FM can seem to figure it out. Not bashing anyone just trying to get my stupid car ready for summer.

Any input?

Thanks,
Jason

Word ...

I want the car to work correctly just in case...hell you are in Arlington, come on over and let's get this new fueling system plumbed

I am sure it's something little I am overlooking but I want to get it all right before we put it on the Dyno..

I'm about to watch Quantum of Solace....


pop the gas cap, maybe there's a siphoning effect in effect.

i did some more testing and think it's the FPR....got in and did another test to listen for the pump....it's not turning on(with relay unplugged) but the car is stilling firing after a few start cycles....but then dies when you step on the throttle....
