sukkin air

I thought i wasnt getting enough fuel so I ; cleaned and reassembled the filter head, new return lines for injectors, replaced o-rings and replaced the e-pump, ran new line up to the filter and checked everything I didn't replace for rub marks or drips while I had the pump running and blew out all the lines. I got her started up, she ran for maybe a minute and died. the filter was full of air when i checked the valve. what am i missing, I know it's going to be obvious, I just can't see it

ran new line up to filter,from where?

facet duralift pump, metal line from frame behind passenger wheel up to pump, and um, oh yea, that's what I forgot to try.
after I got all the o-rings and return lines replaced, I fired her up and realized that the injector on the drivers side closest to the firewall was just oozing fuel in a continuous stream. could it be plugged? If it is can i just swap it out or do I need to change all of them?

Where is it oozing from? If from the line nut, it may just need to be tightened down or cross threaded. If from the return line cap, it can be that the cap is cracked or a torn oring. I had to do redo my returns because it continued to suck air. My own fault probably.

You can change an individual injector, but if they are old (most recommend changing them every 100,000) they all should be changed.
