Engine not getting fuel

Guys,

Here's the latest. My car is not getting fuel for some reason.

It turns over but won't start.

When I spray into my airbox it starts but then when I stop spraying the engine dies. My fuel pump ecu was fine before I removed the engine. I have checked the fuel lines and they all look to be correctly attached.

My pump may be bad but it worked fine before I did the engine swap.

Could it be a relay or something?

Any ideas?

Peace,
Jonny

160k on the car, 70k on the new engine.
