++2 First place you should check is your fuel pressure regulator. Check the Line also check the power wires to the fuel pump to make sure you its getting power.

Today, I connected the secondary pump, and the pressure went up to 45psi, with the main pump it only goes up to 20psi, after that tightened the screw of the regulator and the pressure was stuck at 45psi, I removed the regulator and checked the internals but everything looks good, tomorrow I'll try with another regulator! thanks guys!!!

Did you set base fuel pressure with vacuum line dis connected? With the vacuum line off the base pressure should be 43.5 then put the vacuum line back on and take it for a test drive
