What did you do to keep them from loosening up the next time they were 
heat cycled? They will.

All the air will be pumped out of the fuel lines in the first minute of operation. 
This is not a problem.

The FI SHOULD turn completely off when you remove its power. If the engine 
is running on, it is getting fuel from somewhere. Is the FI main power relay 
not turning off? Is it running so rich that there is fuel in the chamber to keep it 
running? Once you can explain all this you will have your answer.
