fuel problem

Hi guys I final found the problem I had with my truck. It turns out after i put 2 low pressure fuel pumps in and switched out everything but the high vol. pump it was a broke power wire to the low pressure pump. My question is do you need to bleed the air out of the lines. It fired up and a ran it around a little bit it seem fine. The next day took it out for quick spin came back to shut it off came back half hour later and it fired up ran for a second then shut off like it ran out of gas and would not start up again.

i would think if it ran fine for 30 minutes or so, that all the air would be out of the line by now.

I think I am losing my prime because when it sits for a while, it will start up and then shut off like it ran out of gas

Look behind your left kick panel and you should find the inertia switch to relieve the pressure.you might have to reset it.I also cleaned my IAC with throttlebody cleaner.You also have to turn your key switch off and on several times to get the gas back into the fuel rails

I had to pull my tank cause the low pressure pump went out,once I got the gas out I pulled the tank and poured a gallon of lacquer thinner to clean the varnish out.
