Question fuel problem....

hey guys im a little new to the mustang word but i need some help!! i just bout a 92 GT from a guy that had already done some mods to it. Its got new intake, gt40 heads, cam, headers, exhaust, x pipe, and he put an aftermarket fuel pump in it.

He wasnt sure on the brand but im having a problem with it flooding itself out. when u go to start if u do not push the gas when it tris to turn over the first time it will flood itself. I have to undo the fuel injector harness and start it to run the fuel out, then plug it back in and try again. It will flood unless u get it the first time it turns over.

anyone have any ideas on what i need to do to correct this problem? thanks in advance

On ur self test connector on the driver side under the hood I believe it is a gray/red wire I will have to double when I get home but u need to ground that wire and problem solved. I went through the same issue for months and hours of tracing wires to figure out that it was a bad ground. Lmk how it works for you..... I will post the wire color when I get home.

so its nothing to do with the aftermarket fuel pump pushing to much fuel to the injectors and flooding it?

Pull vacum hose off fuel pressure regulator. Cycle key to see if diaphram is busted.(fuel comes out where vacum hose was)
