We need to check a couple things just to be sure we are not missing something.

First is to check for fuel pressure. I understand you looked for fuel and found it but we need to know what the actual pressure is. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Once we know what the pressure is we need to next check the compression:

Basically if you are getting spark and fuel pressure then compression is the likely cause.

However, we need test all this first and foremost and go from there.

Thanks
