    check the fuel pressure regulator and make sure the fuel pump is priming when you turn the key to ON>

    Ok, On the fuel rail going over the supercharger you will see something like this with a vacuum line running accross it and then under the snout of the supercharger. With the motor off, just pull the vac line off and if fuel comes out, its bad.

    just do the basics when you can,

    make sure the fuel pump primes when the key is turned to ON.

    check the fuel pressure regulator.
