Eclipse cranks but doesn't start forgot to mention had prior electrical issues

Why won't my 96 eclipse start it ran fine until one day I turned it off and it never turned back on. Engine is good I'm leaning towards electrical issue. What do I do? Fuel pump whirrs on when I turn ignition on but no pressure at the fuel rail! Any ideas please??

No gas comes out when I depress the pin in the valve. It's a non turbo dohc 2.0 can the filter cause it to stop running after I shut it off for twenty mins ?
