Fuel Pressure (Key ON, Engine OFF) 384-425 kPa (56-62 psi)

fuel pressure is too low to start but what I am getting at is possibly the fuel pressure regulator may be either leaking or casuing a flood condition.

Check the exhaust flow. Sometimes the muffler can get plugged up and cause your problem.
