No click no reverse lines.... just cranking but no start. ..I got it to start buy soaking a rag in gasoline and placing it over the throttle body as I turn the ignition but if died as soon as I moved the rag

There's no fuel flowing to the system try to replace your fuel filter. Its maybe clogged that caused the back pressure creating the leak in your main pump that you just replaced.
