02 acura cls engine shuts down after i start it?

I just put in a new gas tank, I didn't change the fuel filter or fuel pump only a new gas tank,I drove it for 2 days.I wake up the next morning to start the car and its a long start and when it does kick over the engine shuts down in 10 sec? So I paid for a new battery,NGK' speak plugs,I checked all fuese,I check for vacuum leaks,I checked for codes and no codes,I spread Start up fluid and still dies? So I ask you this since I have a new gas tank could it be over load the fuel pump or filter because the gas deposit do have nothing to hold onto due to the new tank so it backing up the fuel filter or my fuel pump on its way out? Because when I hit the gas,it shut down ? Need help!!!

Have you checked the fuel pressure? I'm pretty sure there is a port on one of the fuel injector rails specifically for this. You can check static pressure (key on, engine off) and if that's ok move on to residual and running tests.
I don't really understand the part in red.

Well if u replaced the gas tank and now all of a sudden you have a problem Id say you have a fuel issue of some sort for sure.

Why did you replace the tank to begin with, was there an issue with the motor running?

If not then maybe something was overlooked.whatever you are "certain about" begin to doubt it. That is likely how you are in this pickle to begin with.

Often when you think you know you stop thinking :-) so go through the steps you took when the tank was swapped and try and delineate what may have gone wrong or have been omitted.

Anyone who has worked on cars a lot has overlooked something. And when you are positive you have not that makes it almost impossible to find, cause it'll be the last place you will look.

Holy that is just unlucky bud... Sorry to hear that. But yea I'd definitley keep thinking its gas/fuel related given your circumstances.

I wonder if you heard the fuel pump priming when you turned the key to the ON position.

You can hear it in a quiet garage. It's a high pitched whine or hiss that lasts for like 3 seconds.
