I don't see how it could start at all with 0 fuel pressure. Have you put a fuel pressure gauge on the test point of the fuel rail?. Can you hear the pump running for 2 seconds or so when you to the key to the run (not start) position. If you can hear the pumo running and the fuel pressure is too low.....Have you ever changed the fuel filter? It sits on top of the tank and is a PITA to get to and change, but a restricted filter is a very likely culprit if the pump runs.
