A few things occur to me:

Was there gas at the tee, or could you have been measuring air pressure?

When checking voltage pulses at the injectors, be sure to measure
between the two injector wires; 12v should be on one continuously; the
other gets intermittent ground from the ECU.

Are your spark plugs in reasonably good shape?

I put in some new gas And It would not start, Checked my fuel pressure at the T and it was 35 psi I pinched the return line and watched it go over 80 before I released it, I checked spark and had it , Checked compression all over 110 psi, I checked voltage at the injectors with a dc voltage detector and saw it pulsing but still the van would not fire, not even try to fire.
