I've started my Whipple install and the beginning says to unplug the fuel pump control module electrical connector under the back seat, which I did, then start the engine and allow it to idle until it stalls. How long should it take to stall? I figured with the fuel pump not sending anything it wouldn't take that long but nothing yet. The car turned off and I thought it was done but it ended up being because of the auto turn off timer.

Should only take a few seconds for the fuel pressure to go to zero. Guessing you unplugged the wrong connector...

That's what I figured. There's only one connector in the back seat. There's even a picture in the instructions, that's the one I unplugged ‍♂

I’d have to look at a maintenance manual. But I think that device you disconnected is a sensor for the stability control system.
There should be large rubber covers over the two fuel pump access points with wires going through them. If you follow those wires coming from those two rubber covers, you should find the connector you are looking for...
