    I'm a bit confused.. your sig says GTP, your description says GT. If you have a GTP, try the picture below


    If not.. unplug the maf and see if it stays running. Another thought is that security is pissed off and you should relearn the key.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    that only works with a gtp. try the maf unplugging like bill suggested.

    theres a cap on the fuel rail, front of the engine, take it off, and push the pin inside with the key to run, gas should spray out with good pressure.

    if nothing comes out or very little, your fuel pump took a dump.

    you hear it priming? the pump that is?

    you check for fuel pressure? just cause its new dont mean its good still. if you touched it, test it. aka it was the last thing you touched right?

    check the relay cause they can fail. swap it with the one next to it. its the same.

    if that dont fix it open up the trap door and double check the wires if you had to cut the old plug and put a new one on the new pump like i just had to do.
