Fuel pump Problem

What would cause a new tpi pump in a tbi tank to not produce any pressure, the gas barely pours out under prime and crank positions. I dont want to pull the tank again. I had it running but only for about 10 seconds. Now it wont even start and there is only about 1 psi. Did my new pump go bad? Could i have installed it incorrectly?

Try the filter - it may be clogged, which could have burnt up the old pump.
