Question zetec conversion problem....

right, quick query....

Me and my mate have done zetec conversions to our cabs, both are all in, both are wired up and both are firing up running and dying. Basically the pump is priming, engine is firing up with the fuel in the rails and then dying. I think i know the problem, i just want conformation of what i thinks wrong and a remedy.

The white/brown wire the earth fueling wire isnt connected, i was told to connect this to the earth point on the yellow (efi) fuel relay. I did this and still no good. What is the best way to connect the loom to the fuel relay so that the ecu can get a signal to the pump to keep firing??

Also how have other people overcome this??
