I have a 1988 Pontiac Firebird formula. Engine was replaced with a 350 TBI. Car starts and dies immediately. Fuel pump runs and If you disconnect fuel line, it flows a large volume of fuel. However, my fuel pressure gauge does not register pressure.

ok first off you need to check the fuel pressure at the throttle body, tbi motors only require 8-13 psi i believe, if it has fuel pressure there take off the air flter and look to see if fuel is being squirted into the throttle body (should be a fine mist out of both injectors) if it is not then the injectors may need to be cleaned or replaced
