I'm wondering if the AEM V1 injector driver took a crap. It is a known issue with them, but with the stock ecu in it now and the same symptoms it sounds like, it must be something else. Hopefully it is just a weak fuel pump or something. This is interesting though.....
Update: Finally got around to tapping the rail and getting a gauge on. Get about 10psi during priming and then drop off to 0. Similar phenomenon during cranking. Going to take a look at the pump this weekend, but I’m thinking the AEM pump took a crap.
I think I found the culprit. Took the fuel pump out and found a hole in the feed line. Unfortunately parts store is closed so it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. Any thoughts on why it ruptured like this? Also taking the top lines was a real pain since the white plastic clips were broken by the previous owners. Can those be replaced or does the whole carrier have to be changed?
Man, I'm not sure how that would have happened, but that's the issue.
I think you'll have to get a new hanger to fix that broken piece.

Thanks guys. I wasn't familiar with these quick disconnects but found the part number. If anyone needs to replace these in the future, the part number is 17711-S84-004. Will have to wait till tomorrow for that part to arrive.
Do you know if the previous owner was running e85 in the car? That might have weakened the hose.
He didn't get a chance to switch over. If I remember right he had about 30,000 miles since the pump went in. I definitely want to take the necessary safe guards, because I NEVER want to take the fuel pump again. Huge PIA.
Broken plastic clip and that frayed hose line are a sign of an overzealous owner. He probably used needle nose pliers to pull the fuel hose in its place and frayed the hose very easy to do. Trick is to cut the length just right and use abit of oil when sliding it in place next time
She lives!! Replaced the line and she fired right up. Thanks all for your help. Can't wait to get the supercharger back on line and experience its maximum potential.
