I installed brand new supply and return lines from the selector valve back to the tanks. I started it up and it ran good for a few minutes then died. Now it wont start no matter what tank I'm pullin from. The orignial owner had the rear tanks fuel lines hooked up to the front tank and the front tank lines unhooked and it ran fine like that but now it wont even start after trying to hook it up like that again. In a etempt to fix this i bypassed the fuel selector valve but still nothing. When the key is on my electric pump comes on and fuel is coming out of the schrader valve when its pressed in. i think the fuel selector valve needs to be replaced but why wont it start when its bypassed?

I cracked the injector lines and it started up after some cranking but was running super rough. I kept my foot on the gas for a few minutes and the idle smoothed out. Next step is to either replace the fsv or switch to manual valves.
