Are you getting fuel to the pump? Are you having someone crank and then you tighten the lines as fuel as fuel squirts out.

Sounds like you have another problem, I just removed and replaced my injection pump and i only had to crack 3 lines to get it to start. She ran rough for a couple min then smoothed right out.

Check for codes. You can do the key trick (off, on, off, on, off, on. Leave on but dont start codes will show in the odometer window) but it would be best to use a scanner since some codes will not show with the key trick. Let us know what codes you get.

When your starting with the lines cracked is fuel spraying or dripping out. My lift pump was weak when mine wouldn't prime right. I could fill the fuel filter housing but not start
