I think my pump finaly died!!!!!!

I have reason to belive my Ve died. I got in it the other night and it was really hard to start for somereason never did that before. Went to town to the store was in there for an hour or so, came back out and was even harder to get started. Finaly fired over and was goin down the road and it just stoped and died like you turned off the key or it was out of fuel(but there was over a half tank) Then when u try and start it, it acts like it wants to fire but it dont just keeps crankin. Spray seafoam in the turbo wile crankin and the engine will run. so I am condiming the Ve!! What do you guys think?

I thought bout that, but its a brand new Lp Piston Lift Pump, and my fuel pressure gauge is showing 16psi fuel pressure when cranking. That led me to belive that it was the IP. cracked one of the lines loose and fuel just kind of comes out of the line in blurps insted of a stedy stream.

Make real sure you don't have an air leak somewhere.

Maybe try taking the shutdown solenoid plunger out, if you haven't already.
