Fuel system issue

My 2005 cranks but will not start. I spray starter fluid in throttle body and it will start but won't stay running. I've replaced the fuel pump and the fuel sender unit which is located under the spare tire. After I replaced the fuel sender unit It started and ran for about 30 seconds. It quit when the fuel line popped off the fuel pump and pushed gas all over the ground. I secured the gas line back on and now it won't start again unless I use starting fluid. very frustrating. Can anybody help please

is the "sendor" your talking about the Fuel Pressure Module ? It has a wire harness on it and tells the pump when to run and how long to maintain fuel pressure in the fuel rail.. .... Turn the key to "on", but not start....... do you hear the pump run for 3 seconds, then stop ?

yes. The fuel press pressure module. That's located under the spare tire right? I cannot hear the fuel pump running. I think this is a pressurized system. I damaged some f the ends of the lines when I took out the old fuel pump. When I put the clips back in they don't hold the fuel lines on when I pull on them. Could this be an issue.
