Default 2000 Caravan Sport won't start

Electric system is working but it wont start. Got a preliminary diagnostic indicating probably gas pump or injector. I had a tune-up performed 2 months ago. Ignition good, battery good, did start last tiem after pumping gas pedal. Can anyone help?

Do you have any fuel pressure to the rail?

Got a preliminary diagnostic from a certified mechanic. Either fuel pump or oxygen sensor. Hes coming over to look at it this afternoon and since hes trustworthy Ill post back the final diagnostic and solution so that anyone with the same or similar problem can look at it. By the way, Im hoping like hell that its the sensor since theres a $250 difference in part price.

I doubt the O2 would cause that, you can unplug it and see if it will start. I would be leaning more towards a fuel pump.
