960 died 900 1996

It could be the fuel pump.

But, was the car started up and run for a very short time? As in moving a lawn mower out of the garage. If so, search the site for "lawn mower syndrome".
This could be a case of that. It is where the lifters get over pumped and cause poor compression. There is a simple way out of it, but it takes a very strong battery and will power.\

Having no fuel pressure can also be a sign of the no start condition. When the key is first turned on the fuel pump runs for a second, pressurizes and then shuts off until the engine is running. So if it kicks on when the ignition is place on, then you are probably ok. Most of the time fuel injected engines do not seem to flood out, so not have fuel on the plugs is on the normal side.

Hope this helps.
