Did you bleed the air out of your lines?

If you didn't... crack a couple injector lines, crank the engine over and bleed the air out of the system.

You may also want to bump your starter a few times ( turn the key on and bumper the starter for a 1/4 second, that will turn your fass on for about 30 seconds.) As soon as the pump shuts off bump the start again and repeat several times. You may have a lot of air in the lines and fuel filter canister.

loosen the lines to the head 1,3,5 until fuel comes out, then tighten and go 2,4,6 that should atleast give 3 cylinders of fire to help the other 3 along.
