Car died won't start, gasoline dripping everywhere.
 
Like the title says, i was driving togo pick up some food, and my car died when i was on the turning lane, so i creeped it up into the gas station, i got out and started pushing to a parking space, 2 cops helped me push cause they were filling up there cars. while they were pushing there was a trail of gasoline coming from the car, so i popped the hood and it reeked with gasoline smell.

Where should i start checking?

It's at the dealership and wont start, it turns over but nothing?

You might have blown off a fuel line connector....

no fuel pressure = no start

There are are 3 on the fuel rails..and one at the firewall to the fuel pump

Yup... first place I would check.
Look above the ignition coils and you'll see a line with a red disconnect.
Give it a slight tug and see if the two sections separate.

Ok dealership just called me and said my fuel injector is screwed up, and fuelline to the fuel rail popped, the guy said maybe my cobb tune stage 1, gave out to much fuel pressure? is that true?

Yes, cobb tunes richen your a/f mixture...stage 2 is much richer than stage 1 as well.

There are no "stage 2" maps from Cobb:

Thread revive just so anybody ever comes across this. i saw another post, reason why my fuel lines popped cause they didn't replace it after putting in the 2nd motor. Always need new line after removing a motor for another one. heads up and don't get stranded like me!
