But from the symtoms you said it almost sounds identical to my freinds problem.

To further refine this, it only takes a few secs to reset your ecu after you remove a battery cable. You do not have to hit your brake pedal to get it to reset either. Just undo the battery cable...hold it in your hand....count to 10.....then bolt down the cable. Your ecu is now reset.

Ive had mine not reset from doing that. I disco the battery on mine for about 20 sec hooked it back up and wasnt reset . So just FYI sometimes there will be some left over juice somewhere.

Should I reuse the old fuel filter or use the one included in the Walbro kit?

I reused mine but if the kit comes with a new one might as well put it on.

Thanks again for the suggestions; resetting the ECU didn't help, and I pulled out the pump and double-checked everything, but it all seemed to be in order. I contacted the company I bought it from (lancershop.com) and they were really cool about it, they're sending out a new one. I'll update with results after I install it...
