Every Morning I try starting my Ford Escort but every time I touch the accelerator it dies. What could it be?

This is a variable fuel pressure system so a straight pressure test may be inconclusive without a scan tool also. Is the check engine light coming on at all?

Take it to a pro as they will have to use a pressure tester as well as scan tool
