280SL M110 K-Jetronic not starting after replacing the fuel pump

I’m having issues with my 280SL 1983 M110. Ran great when the warm before and after replacing the fuel pump I cannot start again.

System pressure is 75 psi when jumped fuel relay and cranking. After stop cranking and disconnecting relay jumper the pressure drop to 48 psi and hold as required. I checked the spark and it is. I checked the return line and does not have restriction.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
What I should do next?

Could be anything that you did inadvertently or it is a coincidence.
I'd run a strobe light of the spark 1 and check ignition timing.
Next, jump the fuel pump to run, then push AFM baffle plate gently to confirm you can hear the symphony of 6 instruments injectors
Thanks for reply. I jumped the fuel pump to run and pushed AFM baffle plate no any sound of injectors.

System pressure should still hold at 75 psi even when FPR jumper is disconnected. Did you happen to "open the valve" of the pressure tester to obtain "Control pressure" of 48 psi?
