Yes, usually. This was a long shot. I didn't know what else to suggest.

It's also possible that there's MUCH too much fuel being injected, so that you 
don't really have a chance to get it started in the morning. If that's the 
case, it should start briefly when the fuel pump is disabled, and then run out 
of gas. If that happens, then it is a clue as to where you need to look next.

Are you sure your pressure sensor hose is still connected on both ends?

SP wires mixed up?

It's hard to understand how you can have both spark and gas and still not see 
any signs of life.
