Exactly so almost surely your fuel pump is not running or not continuing to run. Jump the terminals at power distribution center and see what happens.
Are you truly seeing 50psi at rail
while cranking?????

So, nothing. Chilton is good for kindling. Maybe posterior shine in a bind.

Actually the pump guage hooked to the rail fluctuates between 40 to 50 psi when cranking. And 48 psi when I stop.
