Default got my car running!!!!!!

well i did what most of you guys didn't want me to do. i wired the fuel pump directly to the battery and got my car started. got it running but of course it was running freaking rich. made me start crying it was running so rich lol. but its just good news that i got it running and everything functions fine and the engine sounds awesome! so freaking excited. i recorded the sound on my cell phone and i have verizon and its on the verizon site now but i don't know how to get it on my computer or photobucket. all i have to do now is wire some harness and then she'll be set! thanks for all the help guys!!!!!!

why would the fuel pump being hard wired make it run rich? it runs constantly anyway. and its a fuel return system..

I must have missed you post before, but why did you have to wire it up like that, I have mine hot wired with a switch b/c one day it just stopped working, and just yesterday i turned the key without the switch on and the damn thing works again.
