Try pulling the fuel pump relay from out under the hood in the fuse panel. Not the fuel pump fuse, the relay - it's marked accordingly.

Sometimes the pcm doesn't recognize the pump after a tune swap and it goes into a loop. I have found that a relay pull for 20-30 seconds and then reinstall brings everything back to normal recognition.

See of it cures your need to press the reset button in order to start.

yeah that might be it because i just put the racer tune when it started doing that
