Newbie with questions

Hello all!

I have installed a new 36202 kit on a 84 C10 with a 350 engine. This kit comes with the FI intake fuel pump.

I drove the truck for the first time today after setting the IAC.  I tried to drive again 30 minutes later but it will not run. It runs for 1 seconds and dies.

I have watched my voltage on the dashboard, it starts @ 12.4 and ends @ 12.2

I have replaced all old/worn parts such as coi, module, plugs and wires.

Is there something I am missing in the setup?

I can clearly pump coming on when I turn the key on.

Thanks for any help!

Could be a hot start issue.  Fuel is vaporizing on butterflies.  Try half throttle for prime shot and crank when this issue arises.  May try a few prime shots then crank.

Voltage a bit low, can cause problems, check at battery with a voltmeter, should be about 13.5 fully charged. Have someone turn the key while you check the prime shot. I found it is easily flooded, prime shot can supply a heap of fuel needed to wet the throttle body and manifold, if you turn the key a couple of times it can be flooded. Pull the plugs and see if wet or dry. I have played with the prime shot, cannot get it to start immediately like a factory late model injection, one prime shot and crank for a bit, then runs great.
