really helps to put a fuel pressure gauge on it during this testing-trying to get it to start period. that way you know for sure if there really is sufficient fuel pressure or not. also......consider the fuel itself............whether it might be diesel, or full of water, or summer gas, or whatever. Any time I think maybe it's the tank that's clogged or restricted.....like I suspect 'the tank' as the main reason for problems, I just rig up a temporary gas can to run the engine on....... just have the fuel pump suck out of the can, and run the fuel return from the engine to the gas can.........and you've got a temporary aux fuel source for testing purposes;. I do it all the time........to make SURE fuel is getting to the engine. I've seen fuel tanks clog up a few times. Running and old fuel injected car out of gas can sure cause a lot of problems.
