Do you have the actual codes (example p0446). If you have the code(s) I could steering you in the right direction.

When you say it has fuel pressure do you know if it has enough fuel pressure? Too little fuel pressure can cause long crank, no start or eventually start symptoms.

How does the engine run when is starts running? Can you drive the vehicle with no issues or is it sluggish/hesitates?
