Turning to everyone here for some more input in trouble shooting this issue. I just put motor back in car and hooked everything up, primed the pump, reinstalled cam sensor and fired the car. Car fired right up and ran for a min or two and then died. I turn the key over again and fuel pressure shoots up to 42lbs and then immediately starts going down to 20lbs and then to 0. I already put vice grips on the return line and fuel pressire dropped the same way. I replaced he lines to the tank to make sure they didn't leak. I installed new 120lb injectors from TT over the winter when I was going through the motor. Where would you guy start looking? As always input is appreciated
 
Installed a new fuel filter and blew out the lines before installing tank with E85. It's wierd because seems like fuel is getting there but not keeping pressure
 
I would suspect the pump as being the problem.

Do you have another pump you could install?
 
Did you prime the system?
I had to turn the fuel pump on and have a jug in front to prime everything up to the FPR.
