Car runs bad after walboro 255 fuel pump install

I have some ses light issues that pertain to my Knock sensor which will be fixed tonight ( I Hope) but I installed my walbro fuel pump and the car runs worse and stunbles mor now than b4??? is this because there more fuel and not enough spark?? or too much timing retard due to the Knock sensor issue??

any Ideas would be greatly appriciated!

Have you checked your fuel pressure since the fuel pump install?

Were you having a pressure problem before the fuel pump install?

Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator?

When I installed my pump from racetronix, it had a hole in the line that comes attached to the pump. It would idle fine but pressure would drop as soon you the gas pedal was pushed.

Good Luck getting it fixed. I would have been really upset about the problem with mine if I hadn't cut the access hole in the trunk.
