The car is fitted with a RCI fuel cell and the fuel pump is on the outside.

Thanks for all the replies. I went and got the fuel pressure gauge and hooked it up and looks like its a fuel pump issue. Even though the pump turns on just fine, its not creating the needed pressure...

Yes, FPR is on the return line. I haven't check the fuel pressure with the gauge but when I disconnected the fuel filter outlet hose after i had turned on the fuel pump for little bit, I could tell...

Up until couple weeks ago the car started up and ran fine but I haven't been able to start it since. There is no combustion when I crank the engine. I have checked the following items and they all...
