No Fuel Pressure....what the hell is wrong?
got my car up and running yesterday and took it out for its maiden voyage to check and make sure everything was ok. Car was running great, everything seemed to be fine, but when I went to leave my buddy's house the car wouldn't start. I checked the fuel pressure gauge to find it reading 0. I checked the fuel pump fuse it is ok, i can hear the fuel pump turn on, and I don't have any leaks, but for some reason i have no fuel pressure. I checked the spark and it is fine so it has to be the fuel.
Anyone have a clue?!?!?!

That negates the possibility of a bad fuse or relay.
If the fuel pump is pumping fuel but you are getting no pressure, there is only one possible culprit: Bad or improperly installed FPR.

Check the fuse box in the engine bay...check to make sure the fuse labeled ECU is good. The same thing happened to me when I was done street tuning, I guess it shorted out and I had no idea.

Check if tons of fuel is pouring out of the return line - disconnect it from the rail and hold it into a bottle while someone primes the pump. It should go like a garden hose if fuel's making it to the line OK.

thanks for all the help guys, I pulled out the fuel pump and found the rubber hose running from the fuel pump was ruptured, so i replaced it and everything is all good again.
