Let'* try some things. Key on, no start for 2 seconds. Do this three times. What'* your pressure?
Now start. What is it at idle?
Now pull the vac line off the FPR. What is it?
Now shut down. How long does it take to 'bleed down' 5-10 psi? Report back the time and the pressure drop.
After this, idle for 5 minutes. Shut down, pull the vac line off the FPR, and smell it. Do you smell fuel or not?
We can't troubleshoot with you if we don't know this information.

I might be the nearest being over here in Syracuse. You seem to already have a fuel pressure gauge... Answering Will'* questions will go far in diagnosing the problem.
