hello,
i cant fully make sense of your thread.you say there is fuel pressure but not much fuel in the rail,so where are you measuring your fuel pressure at? the normal place to read from is the valve on the end of the rail,should be around 30-40 psi when cranking.if there is pressure there then pump and wiring and lines are not your problem.you can also remove (carefully) the entire fuel rail with injectors attached and reconnect it to the fuel lines,place a shallow plastic container underneath and get someone to crank the car and see if fuel sprays out or not.if the car does not start from lack of fuel as you obviously think then try jump the fuel pump with a 12v battery to make it run and see if it starts up then,or crank the car and spray engine start into the air intake (remove lid of air filter box) just to see if it fires up.this would confirm weather its lack of fuel or not.
if still no go then recheck for spark,recheck no other fault codes,and then remove plugs and do a compression test.these model engines had notorious problems with sticking lifters and valves which cause lack of compression and therefore no start,the comp test would show this.the symptoms of the low/no compression were intermittant no start, then if left for 10min they would usually start up again.
hope this helps.
steve.
