Didn't get a lot done on this today - but here is what I have so far.

Fuel Pump Check - runs when ignition is turned on

Injector Test - Pulled and tested - all four injectors are discharging

Coil test via Hall sender -- Coil is good

Injectors pulse when coil is tested.

Computer control for ignition via Hall sender - Good

Fuel pressure test: 30+ psi

With a brief pause after the ignition switch is turned on - the pump can be heard running. After waning chime turns off - ignition key turned to start - Engine fires - runs briefly - then quits without a sputter - as if it has run out of fuel.

Question: is there no fuel flow after initial start up? If so, what wold be controlling that (ECU but how? What's happening.) Or could it be that there is a fuel filter problem and just as there is greater demand for fuel there just isn't enough coming through. Gauge says there's still 30 + PSI

The testing has begun to accumulate the data to find this problem!

John
